I would have called it something different.  For example, 

testmodule mymodule

Cool.  I'd still do the testmodule thing.  I don't really understand why 
anyone create a module with a name identical to a single folder.  :)

Yikes.  Are you doing pserver stuff?  I've done very little with that, sorry.  
I've always set up my repositories for local access or for access over SSH.  
I assume that you've set up the passwd file in CVSROOT and everything?  I'd 
really recommend http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/ now.  They have very good 
advice about standard practices for setting up various configurations, and I 
think that they include some standard gotchas and troubleshooting advice.  
Maybe their pserver section would help?
