I use CVS to check out from my own local copy of the repository (which
it seems you do too.) I use CVSup to keep my local copy of the
repository updated (cvsuping from cvsup.dk.freebsd.org)

Is there some particular reason you use rsync instead of cvsup to get a
copy the repository?

Since I don't use rsync I have no idea if teh above line is correct or
not.  I also have no idea if rsync.allbsd.org is up to date and working
or not, but if it is not it quite likely the cause of your problem.

No it is not.

I don't think there is any need to use the '-R' option to those
commands (it is not even documented in the manpage.)

Personally I update using 'cvs update -P -d'

The '-d' flag should probably be used to make sure that any new
directories gets created.

*Bad* idea.  I really do not appreciate getting 2+ MB in a mail, and I
don't think anybody else on the freebsd-stable list does either.
Next time you feel the urge to do something stupid like sending
humongous attachments to in mail (let alone to a public mailing list)
please think again and the files on some web-site or ftp-site instead
and just send an URL. (If for some obscure reason you can't do that,
then at least gzip the files before sending them.)

I didn't see anything obviously wrong in the logs.
