Any errors in the log files (horde logs, system logs, web server logs)?

Assuming that it is correctly pointing at a CVS repository, then I can only
think of two reasons it might not work...

The first reason I could think of would be file permissions.  The web server
account (whatever account the web server is running under) needs to be able
to read the repository files.  So check the access permissions on all the
directories in the path /home/cvsroot/* and make sure they are readable
by your web server account.  

The second reason would be bad cvs install, bad rcs install, or bad
configuration in chora as to where to find the cvs/rcs utilities. Bad here
could mean: out-dated versions, missing applications, permission problems,
incorrect paths it the config files, etc.

That's all I can think of, but then I'm new to CVS/Chora also.
