cvs obviously has a problem locating the approperiate CVSROOT structure 
with the necessary control files. It should normally be located under
${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/

Please check the cvs (1) manual and the init command;

<<
init -  Initialize  a repository by adding the CVSROOT sub-
directory and some default control files. You  must
use  this  command  or initialize the repository in
some other way before you can use it.
 >>

I.e. $ cvs -d /files/www/data/source init

(You may omit -d if you set the CVSROOT variable).

Best,
