You are CORRECT! I tried without the -n and it worked.
This sounds like a bug to me since cvs -nq update is
a valid command.

cvs -n does not play nice with merges. I think this is because -n
prevents cvs from doing anything, including creating the temp files it
needs to do its merges.

Instead of the -n, do the merge in a nice, safe sandbox.
