The line number (193) if that's what it is seems to mean nothing - the
usual thing in /usr/bin/ that you would execute is cvs.  Check first
your $SYSLOCAL/UPDCONFIG file to see what it defines cvscmd to be.
Then check that there is such a file and that it is executable.
Note that your mnj will not have been prepared properly if there is
something wrong with cvscmd.
