It looks like you are working directly in the repository...what is BAD. Never, 
ever, work directly in the repository... always work in a sandbox.

Either use cvs rchacl to set the ACLs remotely... or checkout the modules into 
a sandbox and then in the sandbox cvs chacl as required.

Oh, and calling CVSROOT /home/cvs looks wrong... normally you would use cvsnt 
to alias the physical root in the RepositoryXName parameter 
in /etc/cvsnt/PServer

And if you are going to email me directly, cc the list too (since others may 
help before me, etc.)
