Ok. I did what developers do best. If a system does not work they way we 
expect we figure out a way to get it to work. Since, I have a tar ball 
of the repository I extracted it locally (as I had done previously) and 
then in the root directory of the repository I created a "top" directory 
and then moved all of the modules to be under that directory. Create a 
new CVS working directory and do "cvs checkout top" and then do the "hg 
convert" and it works perfectly.
