This probably should have been an ordinary tag (without -b).  If you
really used -b, you should be able to convert it to a normal revision
tag with:

        cvs tag -BF jacquard-1-10-stable-root

The one step you left out is to switch your working directory to the
newly-created branch:

        cvs up -rjacquard-1-10-stable-branch

Once you've done that, your commit will succeed.
