It's hard to say.  If you really did what you said, you should have
gotten:

        cvs [admin aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs checkout' first

So, either you're running a very old version of CVS, you didn't do what
you said you did, or your repository is (or appears to be) checked out
from another repository.
