TFS Commandline Help : Deny CheckIn for a branch

I'm trying to find tf.exe command to deny checkin permission for a branch.

I do this manually by Right Clicking the branch -> Properties -> Security Tab -> Select the Group "[mytfs]\Contributers" and selecting Deny "Check In" checkbox.

After a build is successful, I perform the same stepts to allow "Check In".

As far as I can go with the command line is 

tf permission /deny:Checkin /Group:[mytfs]\Contributers $/Mytfs/Myproject

But I get the error complaining "There is no working folder mapping for blah blah balh..

Could someone please help me out if I'm doing something wrong or I'm trying to use the wrong command?

TFS Version : 2005

Thanks! Sanjeev

You need to move to a directory within the TFS mapping for this command to work.

If you have your branch mapped to c:\branch1 then run the command from there and it should work. The problem is that TFS cant figure out what branch you are under.
