TFS and CruiseControl

I am speaking at the .NET User group in Bristol next week and have been putting some final touches to my demos. One thing I will be talking about is using CruiseControl with TFS. Whilst getting this running on my demo VPC I hit a problem. I did a default install of CruiseControl .Net 1.3, this was on top of a Visual Studio TFS Orcas VPC I had built for DDD5....
