My $HOME is correctly set. 
As Harig propose to use incorrect option -g : I get error.

Well, I change my .cvsrc file and I put 'cvs -r' in first line : It
works !!!!

I read more seriously documentation and I understand my mistake : I have
put one line for one option :
 'cvs -z3', next 'cvs -r'

so cvs found first entry (-z3 option) and don't read more (as write in
documentation :-( ). 

The rigth syntax is 'cvs -r -z3', I suppose.

Perhaps change example in manual to add such example to be more clear
for newbies who don't speak well Shakespeare langage, or are very tired
;-)

Thank you very much.
