When you add that admin file to the CVSROOT directory, you need to do it 
on the server, directly in the repository.  This is NOT the same way you 
work with most of the files (normally you would check out CVSROOT). 
CVSNT is hard-coded to prevent the admin file from being part of the 
checkoutlist files that shadows those config files into the repository.

Also make sure you're using the login name as the CVS server sees it. 
Use the trace feature to check what the username is, and if the server 
detects you in the admin file.  E.g. cvs -ttt ls
