CVS checkout problems with cvsweb

[Netmanager]

Hello All,

I've set up RANCID before with no problems, but I'm 
setting it up on a new box with the latest OS version (OS 
X 10.4), and it is retrieving configs, but cvsweb gives 
the following error when I click the "download" link to 
 retrive the config.

-------------
Error: Unexpected output from cvs co: cvs [checkout 
aborted]: Absolute module reference invalid: 
`/test/configs/cisco-core-6500-ssl.mycompany.com'
Check whether the directory 
/opt/local/var/rancid/CVS/CVSROOT exists and the script 
has write-access to the CVSROOT/history file if it exists.
The script needs to place lock files in the directory the 
file is in as well.
-------------

CVS and CVS/CVSROOT exists, I changed permissions and file 
ownership but nothing.  I'm puzzled that it seems to say 
`/test/configs/cisco-core-6500-ssl.mycompany.com' is an 
"absolute module reference".  The correct absolute path is 
contained in the html link, pasted here:

http://127.0.0.1/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/test/configs/cisco-core-6500-ssl.mycompany.com?rev=1.2&content-type=text/plain

My cvsweb.conf has:

%CVSROOT = (
             'Development' => '/opt/local/var/rancid/CVS'
             );

I've poked around but I don't know how to troubleshoot the 
problem.  Can someone tell me where to look for the 
trouble?
