cvs prob. w/binaries

I need to create a new "tree" in my repository
with all my dia files. Everytime I issue a command
such as 'cvs import -ko -I\! dia MO *'
I get an error like the following:

cvs [import aborted]: tag `dialup.dia' must not contain the characters `$,.:;@'

I know I have done this before, but the commands seems to
escape me :-)

Any help would be appreciated.
