As user root, outside of cvs, are you able to read the file
/pgfs3/asic3/users/cvs/CVSROOT/config while you are logged into host
pglc8004 ?

If the directory is NFS mounted, it is possible that root does not have
permissions to one or more of the intermediate directories leading to
the config file.
