Yeah: you aren't running your CVS server in "pserver"
mode, and so are trying to do a lock, either in your
local copy, or over NFS.

If you run your repository in pserver mode, the CVS server
will be connected to over the network, instead of attacking
your CVS repo directly, and you won't have the problem you
are seeing, since the cvs server will be able to get the
lock, no problem.
