It's picking up CVSROOT from somewhere, though (unless you've set it in 
the environment?)

Actually I'm getting pretty confused about this whole thing myself.

You do the import from the directory to import, so something like:

cvs import -Cn -I *.mdb cgi-bin

from within the directory should work.  Import gets real confusing if 
you're not just importing a whole tree for the first time...

I'll have to get the time to try out some of the permutations to see 
what's happening in your case.
