As the message indicates, this is a server problem, not a client
problem.  It appears that you do not have write permission in the
server's temp directory.  Perhaps someone changed the permissions on the
directory or change which directory is being used.

Please get used to using "cvs version" instead -- that gives you both
the client and server versions.
