The problem is that the init command doesn't send a Root command to the
server (since the root directory likely doesn't exist yet), but many of
the CVS global options aren't valid without a Root command. In
particular, the -n, -q, -Q, -r, -t, -l, -x, -z, and -a global options
are not valid. It looks like you have -r set in your ~/.cvsrc -- either
remove it (temporarily) or override it with an explicit -w in the init
command.
I will be checking in a fix for this problem -- -n, -q, -Q, -r, -t, and
-l will be allowed and passed on to the server; -x, -z, and -a will be
ignored. (In anyone has a problem with that, please let me know.)
