For cvs2svn help let me suggest the address@hidden mailing
list.  However that error above seems pretty direct.  Because of the
--use-cvs option it is trying to use the :pserver: access method of
CVS.  But generally that should not be needed.

Are these cvs ,v files or rcs ,v files?

I don't understand that error at all.  It looks like a different
problem than what you previously reported.

I am really not sure what you can do.  Things seem pretty messed up
but without any obvious reason.  Plus you are running on an operating
system that I find particular difficult.  Perhaps someone else on the
mailing list will have an idea.

Is this a project that you can post the sources to on the internet?  I
might take a look at them if they were available.
