It is not normal to be asked for a passphrase, you must check that you 
properly uploaded your SSH key. See instructions at 
http://savannah.nongnu.org/account/editsshkeys.php

It seems that you imported the index.html with the leading 
non-gnu/grokedb, which gives a complete path of 
/webcvs/non-gnu/grokedb/non-gnu/grokedb. I've removed the extra folders. 
The root index.html is okay and can be seen at 
http://www.nongnu.org/grokedb/

From now on, unless you have a whole website to upload now, I suggest 
you check out a working copy :

$ cvs -d:pserver:address@hidden:/webcvs co non-gnu/grokedb

And then proceed with the 'cvs add' command to import new files.

Note that we need to know the exact command you typed and its output in 
order to help you. Please fix the problem mentioned above first.
