Is /homes/phopper/cvsTmpDir a brand-new directory?  If not, have you
already checked things out in it?  Does it have a CVS subdirectory?
What's in your CVSROOT/modules file?

Specifying a specific revision shouldn't have any effect on this error;
are you sure that it works if you leave off the "-r eclipse-v1-3-JMQ"?

Could you try it with a -t global option?  Perhaps the trace will show
something.
