Do you have an SELinux enabled Linux installation?  I've seen similar
errors when trying to run cvsweb on Fedora Core 4 test 3 with a targeted
SELinux policy enforced.  If you have SELinux enabled, look for related
messages in /var/log/messages and /var/log/audit/audit.log, and modify
your policy and/or relabel the files in the CVS root so that cvsweb.cgi
is allowed to access them.
