The message tells you the exact directory in question so there's no need
for find, just list that directory:

        ls /fs/cgd/csm/models/CVS.REPOS/shared/ccmlsm

(it's possible that there's a symbolic link in the repository that find
won't follow by default).  I see you're running client/server, so be
sure you're on the right machine.  If you still don't see any lock
files, look in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/config for LockDir=.
