It seems that if you keep trying different ways to make a checkout sourceforge only lets you have one try and then says:

cvs [login aborted]: recv() from server cvs.sourceforge.net: Connection reset by peer

It looks like you have to leave everything on your local server exactly the way it is on the remote server or cvs does not work. cvs especially seems to get upset if you move your local cvs files. 

So - the only way to use cvs is to have a special copy local that is exactly like the tep/catalog/catalog on the remote server and then have yet another working copy that is localsite/"files that were in catalog"/admin/"files that were in the nested admin". Seems overly complex.
