cvs questions

I just have a fairly simple question, i'm trying to use CVS and request a build in a new branch, and I tried everything: # cd build/dosemu/F-11 [root@localhost F-11]# ls ./ ../ branch CVS/ .cvsignore Makefile sources [root@localhost F-11]# export CVSROOT=:ext:solarflow99@cvs.rpmfusion.org: /cvs/free [root@localhost F-11]# export CVS_RSH=ssh [root@localhost F-11]# make clog rpm: no arguments given for query rpm: no arguments given for query I just keep getting these no arguments errors
