I looked around.  You asked for this:

 > %s -f CVSROOT/commitlog -m clue-dev at clue.denver.co.us

log.pl isn't executable.  Don't know if that matters.

The #! line in log.pl says "#! xPERL_PATHx" which might not work correctly.

Looking at log.pl, it looks like you need to single quote the %s 
argument.  The file list has to be one word for the script to work 
(that's in the usage line if you look closely).

Finally, I'm not sure that CVSROOT/commitlog works.  The examples in the 
manual show absolute paths, so at least $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/commitlog. 
(There isn't any commitlog file so log.pl must be dying before line 102.)

Maybe that helps.  I don't seem to remember the root password so I can't 
play with things.
