cvs question?

[Osmany Guirola Cruz]

Hi again

 The option -R does not work :-(
i do  this
#setenv CVSROOT freebsdanoncvs at anoncvs.FreeBSD.org:/home/ncvs
#cvs -R co -rRELENG_5 src
and get this
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot write /home/ncvs/CVSROOT/val-tags: 
Permission denied
and if i do
#socksify cvs -R co src
WORKS PERFECTLY

What can i do?
