The cvsRoot is the location of the CVS repository. The update works for
you from the command line because the repository location is stored in
local state files in the checked out CVS tree. The example you gave
above would only work if the CVS repository is on the same host as you -
is it?
Take a look in your checked out code tree - in each directory there will
be a CVS subdir, containing a file called "Root", and this has the cvs
repository details within it.
