But this is not what you have described above with export ... . Just to
make sure:
1. Create and init your repository with
mkdir /full/path/to/rep (probably done as root, depending on where
rep is located; if done as root, you maybe
want to change the permissions via
chmod -R user.group /full/path/to/rep)
export CVSROOT=/full/path/to/rep
cvs init
2. cd to project which should be imported
cd myproject
cvs import -m "just testing" myproject me start
3. Check out your working copy
cvs co myproject
These steps work without modifying $CVSROOT/CVSROOT/modules or any other
config file. If you do not specify the CVSROOT env variable you have to
set the '-d /full/path/to/rep' option in every cvs commandline, at least
in this example.

Matthias
