Problems setting up a CVS pserver

I set up my little pserver in a chroot environment (accoring to
http://www.unixtools.org/cvs/server-how-to.html) and added a code
repository and imported a module. But for some reasons I can't check
it out lateron. I have almost no experience with CVS (used SourceSafe
so far, but CVS seems to better fit my needs), so please be gentle
with my stupidity.

So I create a new repository:
:cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot-cmx init
:*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****

I import some files:
:cvs import -I ! -I CVS -W "*.attributes -k 'b'" -W "*.gif -k 'b'" -W
"*.jpg -k 'b'" -W "*.psd -k 'b'" -m "no message" cmx CMS beta
:N cmx/About.java
[snip some more files]
:No conflicts created by this import
:*****CVS exited normally with code 0*****

And finally I try to checkout the module again:
:cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/cvsroot-cmx checkout -P cmx
:cvs checkout: in directory cmx:
:cvs checkout: cannot open CVS/Entries for reading: No such file or
directory
:cvs [server aborted]: can't chdir(/root): No such file or directory
:*****CVS exited normally with code 1*****


What does the error message mean, and how can I get rid of it? There
is no CVS directory in the repository. When I create the repository,
I get a CVSROOT directory, but no CVS/Entries.

Thanks in advance,
Daniel
