Looking at the contents of the .cvspass file, I see that I was
using the wrong URL on the French CVS mirror server. I was using the
same path as on the Austrian and main NetBSD CVS servers (:/cvsroot),
instead of the site-specific path that is appropriate for the French
site (:/pub/NetBSD-CVS). I think that was the real problem.

Ahh. That I was not aware of. I had only pulled down the
share.tar.gz tarball, and figured that I could pull down the rest of
the files via CVS. So, after pulling down all the tarballs and
extracting them, do I then do a CVS update as opposed attempting to
pull down all files via CVS?
Again, this is a step that doesn't seem to be discussed anywhere
in any of the documentation I've found.
