You need to add -f to the server_args, just like it says in the manual
(http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_21.html#SEC182 near the end of
the section).  If that doesn't fix the problem, see the manual and the
archives of this list (http://mail.gnu.org/pipermail/info-cvs/) for more
help; this is a *very* frequently asked question.
