It looks like you have confused the CVS repository (normally /home/ncvs)
and the checked out tree (normally /usr/src). I think CVSROOT should be
set to /home/ncvs but I have never tried to make a release so I'm not
really sure.

You might want to take a look at the net/cvsup-mirror mirror to get a
local repository.
