import error - end of file from server

[Sean Colgan]

Hi,
   I'm trying to import my source into a CVS repository on
sourcforge.net.  The error I'm getting is:

   cvs [import aborted]: end of file from server (consult above
messages if any)

I'm pretty sure that the cvs setup on sourceforge is ok because they
host thousands of projects so it must be somethink i'm [not] doing. 
This is the command I'm using:

    cvs import src vendor start

I'm pretty much a newbie when it comes to CVS so I wouldn't be
surprised if I've missed something.  Do I need to create a new
repository on the server called src before I can import into it? 
tbanks.
