Chris,

The CVSROOT you list below is malformed.  You need another ':' between 
the host name and the path to the repository. Also, most CVSROOT values 
include a user name, but I'm not sure if that's required.  Here's a 
valid CVSROOT from one of my local dirs:

   :pserver:sjohnson at eqcvs.equilibrium.com:/home/cvs/cvsroot2

Hope that helps!

Steve
