Add "-f" at the beginning of server_args.  If that doesn't fix these
errors:

        cvs server: cannot open /root/.cvsignore: Permission denied
        cvs [server aborted]:can't chdir(/root): Permission denied

then add another line:

        passenv = PATH

> cvs checkout: in directory test:

That probably means that you're trying to checkout a directory that
already exists.  CVS really wants to create a new directory when doing a
checkout.
