That should be a path relative to $CVSROOT. Absolute paths cause errors.
As a side note, I'm not sure what attempting to use an absolute path actually
does, but the error I got leads me to believe that CVS is trying to do
something it probably shouldn't be and probably could have noticed the invalid
syntax:
cvs checkout: warning: cannot make directory CVS in /: Permission denied
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot make directory /gstest: No such file or
directory
