I've never used pserver, so I may be totally off base here. Clearly the 
login is working, or it wouldn't tell you that there's no such 
repository. However, the directory name my_app leads me to believe that 
your -d option is specifying your project directory (ie, a top-level 
directory) in the repository, not the repository root. Remember that the 
repository is the directory where the CVSROOT sub-directory is; you may 
have multiple top-level directories (ie, projects) in a single repository.

So, I'd try this:

cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvs login
