Perhaps installing CVS somehow defined your (fake) username, and Emacs 
was trying to find your home directory as ~user or something.  Try 
evaluating (user-real-login-name) and (user-login-name), and see what 
they print.

Anyway, I've stopped using Emacs 19 a long time ago, and I never tried 
CVS with v19.  Everything's works for me with Emacs v20.

The only real change here is that you use EDITOR instead of CVSEDITOR.  
Since I always use EDITOR myself, I guess I didn't see any problems with 
CVSEDITOR.

Looks like a bug in the ported CVS.  From the EACCES message I'm 
guessing that the offending directory is not empty.
