asterisk users - Sep 2004 - CVS lock directory still not fixed?

I've seen others complain about this error with no result. Any idea on this?

cvs server: failed to create lock directory for
`/usr/cvsroot/asterisk-addons/format_mp3'
(/usr/cvsroot/asterisk-addons/format_mp3/#cvs.lock): Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository
`/usr/cvsroot/asterisk-addons/format_mp3'
cvs [server aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Don't think this is a local issue since it says "cvs server" and
the path is
different from mine.
