These error messages are tough for me to interpret as well, but the /tmp
directory would be my first suspicion.  Check your
/usr/local/cvsroot[/module[/...]] and any LockDir you may have set as well.

Upgrading your server to 1.11.1p1 (available from http://cvshome.org ) might
help matters as well.  Many error messages have been improved and many bugs
have been fixed in the year or two since 1.10.7 was current.
