 Be sure to check your supfile contents.. as it will point to where the
refuse file
should go.

i.e.

*default host=cvsup.ca.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr

which would tell met that the "refuse" file should go in /usr/sup not
/usr/ports where you have it.

This is explained in
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO_8859-1/books/handbook/cvsup.html
A.5.3.1. The refuse file

"The refuse file essentially tells CVSup that it should not take every
single file from a collection; in other words, it tells the client to
refuse certain files from the server. The refuse file can be found (or, if
you do not yet have one, should be placed) in base/sup/refuse. base is
defined in your supfile; by default, base is /usr/local/etc/cvsup, which
means that by default the refuse file is in
/usr/local/etc/cvsup/sup/refuse."
