strange pserver 'temporary directory' error

Subject: strange pserver 'temporary directory' error

Hi I am trying to set up a cvs server and client
system at work.

I have set up a linux box to work as a server.  It's
Mandrake Linux 8.1.  CVS vers 1.11.1p1.  I have set up
CVSROOT=/home/cvsroot
and $TMPDIR is correctly set up for each user (ie
TMPDIR=~/tmp)

I am trying to use WinCVS as a client but whatever I
try to do (whether it be import or checkout), I always
get 

---
can't create temporary directory
/root/tmp/cvs-serv15629
Permission denied
---

error.  The strange thing is, I am not trying to log
in as root at all.  I don't know why cvs server is
trying to create a temporary folder in /root/tmp
directory.

CVS server was accessed as
:pserver:address@hidden:/home/cvsroot

But instead of using remote client, if I just log in
to the linux box as a user and issue CVS command, they
work fine.

Oh, by the way, I have read the archive and saw a
similar problem before, but that hasn't solved my
problem.  The problem posted before was solved by
creating '$CVSROOT/CVSROOT/EmptyDir', but upon
checking my server I found that the directory was
already there with775 permission.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks in advance
