I've run into this too, although for a slightly other reason.  The
cause is probably an invalid CVSROOT, and in your case a colon is
missing between the hostname and the directory specification.

So you will need to change:

  CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net/cvsroot/sugarcrm

into

  CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous:@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/sugarcrm

In my case, I was using a local repository:

  CVSROOT=/home/cvs

which resulted in precisely the same error message.  It had to be
changed to:

  CVSROOT=:local:/home/cvs

Note that CVS itself accepts either syntax for local repositories, but
vcp apparently does not.
