The 'cmkdir' that is in the debain CFS package is actually a copy of one
of the other CFS binaries that happens to be installed twice by accident, 
so you don't get a 'cmkdir' at all. This is a bug in the debian CFS 
package, (bug number 14321) that has been around for about 1.5 years.

If you want a working CFS, I recommend compiling your own copy or hassling
the maintainer.
