Re: CVS not using environment variables

[Anton Kulchitsky]

It happens if you change the repository location and try to access it 
from the previous working copy. Check CVS directory in working copy 
directory. There is an explicit point to the previous CVSROOT meaning. 
You should change it or checkout a new working copy.

Good luck,
