Add only works in a CVS workspace.  You have to do a checkout first.  If
you're trying to add a new (toplevel) module, you probably wanted to do:

    cvs co -l .
    cvs add knock_server
    cvs ci

The manual claims you should use import.  I suppose it's a matter of
personal preferance and the details of the situation:
