I've used this cvs mirror utility before. You're mirroring a database, which has metainfo, versioning info, plus a whole lot more. You can't simply dump this database-type of files into /usr/src and get your system to use them. (There won't be a Makefile for example). You need to store them to another location outside /usr/src -- /home/ncvs is a good place since the uid and gid that the cvs will serve as is called 'ncvs' I'd keep progressing forward, leaving the defaults alone. Good luck.
