Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

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.
