Hello,

I had a similar problem that returned the same error. In my case I had 
to change the login shell for my cvs user to something other than 
/bin/true or /bin/false (the tutorial I used told me to use /bin/true). 
So I used the bash shell and voila the error vanished into thin air.

Maybe that helps you, too.
