Guess 1 (most likely): You need to change the permissions on
/usr/cvs/freebsd to 775, and make sure it's owned by the right user and
group.
Guess 2 (might be both): Change your umask before using cvsup to update
the tree. I had a similar problem in a different environment and just
wrote a little wrapper script to set the umask the way I wanted it and
called cvsup with arguments. If you need help with this just let me
know.
