Does following the instructions at
http://www.gnome.org/software/anoncvs.shtml help at all? It doesn't sound
like you're doing anything obviously wrong, although you should make sure
you re-checked out the whole tree using the new CVSROOT (otherwise it will
try to update from the old server because that's what CVS/Root has in it).
