First, when you use the "-d" general option, you are overriding the
CVSROOT, and your CVSROOT is not the same as what you are quoting
as "-d".

Second, that "Connection refused" message looks more like a failure
to connect to a socket and connect to CVS rather than a CVS response.
Can you connect at all to CVS as pserver?  Can you telnet to your
server on port 2401?
