Have you checked out the directory structure, ie Subproj1 with its
accompanying directories.  Is there a CVSROOT directory in the
repository and does it have the files which would have been created
when an init command was performed.

The files that should be there include checkoutlist, commitinfo,
config,
cvswrappers, editinfo, history, loginfo and other files.
