I think you need the comment descriptions of the various options you're
trying to use.  The path /home/rancid/var/CVS cannot possibly be a
Subversion repository (per svn_roots), a CVS repository (per cvs_roots),
and a container directory for multiple CVS repositories (per
root_parents).  At most, you should probably be using only one of these
three options.

I don't use Rancid myself, but my understanding is that
/home/rancid/var/CVS is generally a CVS repository.  There should be a
CVSROOT subdirectory used to hold repository metadata
(/home/rancid/var/CVS/CVSROOT/...).

So what happens if you leave root_parents uncommented, and instead
comment out both svn_roots and cvs_roots?
