The problem with the CVSROOT variable is that it is used as a LAST
choice, if nothing else tells it what CVS repository to use.
My guess: you have a .cvsrc file that specifies a CVS repository. The
way you are using it, the CVSROOT you specify will be ignored if
anything is pointing cvs in another direction. I verified this would
result in the error message you report.
Try
# cd /usr/src
# export [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvs
# cvs -d$CVSROOT up -rOPENBSD_3_7 -Pd
That overrides any other CVSROOT preference cvs might have.
