Hi Patrick,

I think I know whats wrong.  The entries within each of the local
CVS/Root files is superseding the value specified in your CVSROOT
environment variable.  So to fix this you should edit all those CVS/Root
files by doing the following:

 1) make a backup (tar file) of the whole thing (just in case)

 2) cd to the "top" directory of the local CVS copy and run 
    the attached bash script within that directory

 3) check whether cvs is again working and send me an email 
    if it isn't

good luck,
Ed
