[freeciv-i18n] checkout problems

["Andreas R." <andrearo@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,
I'm having some troubles while trying to checkout the stable branch of 
freeciv-1.14.0.  This is what I did (just like in send_to_translators.txt):
export CVS_RSH=/usr/bin/ssh  ;  export 
CVSROOT=":ext:andreasr@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/home/freeciv/CVS" ; cvs -z3 co 
-r S1_14 -d freeciv-1.14 freeciv
Then I get the following error messages:
cvs server: failed to create lock directory for 
`/home/freeciv/CVS/freeciv' (/home/freeciv/CVS/freeciv/#cvs.lock): 
Permission denied
cvs server: failed to obtain dir lock in repository 
`/home/freeciv/CVS/freeciv'

I hope someone will tell me what I am doing wrong.  probably some 
trivial mistake by me :)
