Actually that mountpoint doesn't seem to be being working from the new 
phoebus server yet — you're not the only person with that particular 
problem, we get exactly the same error here (plus lots of frustrating 
pauses).  I'm waiting for our IT group to put that directory back online 
and have just entered the problem into our helpdesk system (having told 
IT about it verbally yesterday).  As long as you're pointing to mercury 
(or venus) like the above you shouldn't have to change your CVSROOT at 
all once everything is back to normal.
