The script lines below are causing your message

     if [ ! -x $cvscmd ] ; then
        echo "UPDCVS - cvs defined but can't execute!" | \

I suggest that

1. Look in your file $SYSLOCAL/UPDCONFIG to see what cvscmd is defined 
to be.

2. Check the permissions on that file with ls -l $cvscmd

The cvscmd may be pointing to a wrong place at this point.
