I tried a few conversions of projects listed in red on your website, and
didn't find any disagreements except for expected differences in keyword
expansion between CVS and SVN.  I tried ApplicationManager, anjuta, and
astrolabe.  I used the trunk version of cvs2svn and the /etc/mime.types
file that happens to be installed on my Ubuntu dapper computer, with
approximately the command line options listed in your script.

Do you have any idea why your script would find problems but my tests
would work?  Are you using straight cvs2svn from trunk, or have you
locally modified your copy?
