This is not exactly true the way you said it. "import" imports a whole
directory tree, but this doesn't have to be a new one at the root of
the tree. So for the initial importing of pmpd "cvs import" would be
the right thing (tm) to do. Quoting the manual: 
  
  Use  'cvs  import'  to  incorporate  an  entire source distribution
  from an outside source (e.g., a source vendor) into your source
  repository directory.  You can  use this  command  both for initial
  creation of a repository, and for wholesale updates to the module
  form the outside source.

I have no idea why it didn't work for Cyrille the first time. Maybe
the account wasn't switched on yet? Or maybe it's indeed a permissions
thing, in that Cyrille isn't allowed to "import". Then the "cvs add"
approach, which is quite a bit longer, would be worth a try.
