Check your $PATH (or whatever the csh equivalent is) -- you need to have
/usr/local/bin before /usr/um/bin to get your new version.  If it
already is, then you need to have the shell rehash its hashed commands
(or just log out and back in again).

Ah, but that's *not* the same error as before -- now you're successfully
connecting to the pserver, but your username and password aren't valid. 
Are you trying to use system authorization or a CVSROOT/passwd file? 
Make sure that SystemAuth is set correctly in your CVSROOT/config file
and make sure the contents of CVSROOT/passwd are correct if you have one
(the format is *not* the same as /etc/passwd, although it is similar).
