RANCID sending empty 'routers down' messages

I have just added a third site to our RANCID config (the previous two
are working fine), but now whenever RANCID runs it sends an empty
'changes in xxxx routers' with a body of 'Routers changed to down' on
every run. It only does it for this one site, the other two are having
no problems.

(When I say 'site', I mean another group within RANCID - there is only
one install of the actual software, I'm just adding a new entry to the
LIST_OF_GROUPS variable)

The only difference between this new site and the other sites is that
it consists of a single router.. would that make any difference? If
not, any idea what might be causing this?

Thanks in advance,
Ras

Did you run rancid-cvs after adding the new group to LIST_OF_GROUPS
in your rancid.conf file?
--asp

Yep, all the appropriate CVS bits are there. It actually works just
fine, sends diffs when there are changes etc, except for every run it
also sens the empty email.
