As the message indicates, this is a server problem, not a client
problem.  It appears that you do not have write permission in the
server's temp directory.  Perhaps someone changed the permissions on the
directory or change which directory is being used.

Thanks, we tracked it down:
cvs ci/co use /tmp for temporary file, but the merge uses /var/tmp and that
one had the permissions changed.
