I hear you. Cvs add/commit would take a long time and we'd have to
script a recursice add/commit on so many files. Import seems simpler
and we are happy to have this directory added as a new module.
But I am no expert so if I need schooling, by all means school away.

Not helping with the error, but thought I'd ask anyway. Do you
understand the difference between "cvs add" then "cvs commit", and "cvs
import" ?
It might not be the case for you, but I have found that a lot of
beginner run a "cvs import" when really they simply want to "add" their
files to the repository.
