'cvs ls' is only supported on the Feature branch (1.12.*). Sounds like
your server is running 1.11.something (issue the command 'cvs version'
to find out for sure).

Is there a top-level directory in your repository called MyPackage, or
is there an entry in $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/modules named MyPackage? You can
get a listing of the contents of the modules file by issuing the command
'cvs co -c'.
