No, I don't think so.

There are two possibilities I can think of:

1. You are using an old/wrong path to the repository.

What is your CVSROOT set to exactly?

2. Your account on hydra is somehow messed up -- /home/guest wasn't
mounted properly on hydra (probably due to the system changes we've
had at our end), so I've fixed that up.  There may be other problems...

Can you rlogin to hydra?
