It would have been helpful if you'd shown us the exact command you typed
instead of just the output. It looks like you're trying to add a file
to the very top level of your repository, which is generally a bad idea;
you usually add files to a particular module (subdirectory) rather than
to the top level. It also looks like you have your CVSROOT set to "/",
which is an incredibly bad idea: you wouldn't make "/" your home
directory (I hope), so why are you using it for CVS's home directory?!?
