Meaning either one; sorry, I didn't know the bits that you didn't put in your message. Are you sure that ftp3.freebsd.org is a full cvsup server? That DNS name doesn't guarantee cvsup service, although many of the servers handle both in parallel. As far as it goes, your supfile looks okay. In case there's a weird parsing error, maybe you could add a "tag=." to the line with the collection on it, and see if it gives you any other hints. With a raised verbosity level, even. Failing that, perhaps you should post your *whole* supfile, and/or contact the cvsup author for help.
