Aha! Right you are.  The Anjunta CVS interface assumes that you have a work area that has already had 'cvs checkout' performed on it such that the CVS directory exists with all of the related contents.  If I have an Anjuta work area and import it through the CVS interface, it does not do this for me.  It does not look at the CVSROOT environment variable etc.

I am a n00b but I consider this a bug in the interface.  Should I submit as an Anjuta/CVS bug somewhere?
