Are you using the anoncvs.us.lyx.org mirror of the cvs repository? If so,
then the directory has indeed changed, as described here:

http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.editors.lyx.devel/47733
Please change all references of /cvs to /var/cvs when referring to
cvs.sylvan.com (AKA anoncvs.us.lyx.org).

Georg Baum noted that:
A handy utility to convert your existing checked out directory is
'cvschroot', available from http://www.red-bean.com/cvsutils/

Alternatively, a little bit of scripting should do the job. (You'll want to
modify the CVS/Root files.)

This one is also our problem. www.devel.lyx.org is currently dead.
