My German is very weak, so I can't read all your error messages, but the
usual problem here is that Samba does some funny things with permissions
which prevent CVS from working properly.

The problems with repositories in SMB mounted directories are well-known,
but I didn't think there were any with workspaces.  You might search the
mailing list archives for discussions of similar problems.
