It worked! As several people pointed out I had to delete those first three lines of my config file. I didn't know that the 3.4 release tag would never change so thanks, from now on I'll track stable. In my posts to this forum I try to show that I'm working to solve the problem on my end. I always check the archives, the index to the Complete FreeBSD, and several web pages (FreeBSD Rocks, etc.) before I write. When I do write I try and address one specific problem. The error message I was getting made me think that it was having trouble with one particular line of my cvsupfile so that's the line I sent into the list. After all, the rest of the file was from the example, it couldn't be wrong, right? Sorry my first post didn't have enough detail to analyze the problem. Thanks to all those who committed enough time and patience to walk me through this.

If the first person to reply to his post had done so, rather than giving the cryptic response "Your cvsup file is wrong", we could have saved about five posts, and he would have been a happy camper much sooner.
