Your setup looks fine, including the directory perimssions on your CVS
repository. (As you no doubt read in the manual, that setgid bit is
critical.)
Did you log out and log back in after you added yourself to the src
group? Looks like that hasn't taken effect yet: these error conditions
almost always mean you don't have write access to the CVS repository.
(By the way, there are several resources devoted specifically to CVS:
http://www.cvshome.org/, and there's a CVS-specific mailing list at
info-cvs-request@gnu.org. The newsgroup comp.software.config-mgmt is
also relevant, although it's not limited to CVS.)
HTH,
