Larry, you are right as usual. Somehow the directory permission got 
changed to drwxr-s---, disallowing write access for group members.

This command, provided during a previous call for help, fixed it all.

   : all the group members should be able to write to it
   find $CVSROOT -type d -exec chmod g+rwxs {} \;

Thanks again, Larry and Todd, for your help, and for the reminder to 
always think clearly and trust the error messages.
