Can you:

  cat ~/savannah/ddrescue/cvs/ddrescue/CVS/Root

?

Your 'checkout' command is apparently updating an existing
repository. In this case you use explicit repository location with -d
and cvs uses that. When you commit however, cvs uses what's in 'CVS/',
which probably contains a different location.

You could fix CVS/Root or just perform a clean checkout somewhere
else.
