A "sandbox" is an area on your local system where you have done a
checkout. A sandbox directory will always have a (typically hidden) CVS
directory under it with some CVS control files in it. Sounds like you
were trying to add a single file from the same directory you imported
from. While there is an import option to automagically turn your
imported directory into a sandbox, it isn't on by default.
Try these steps:
1) Checkout your projects to a sandbox with:
cvs -d {your cvsroot here} co .
(the . will get everything in your repository. Probably overkill but
it'll work).
2) Copy the file you want to add into your new sandbox.
3) When in your sandbox directory, do a:
cvs add mynewfile
4) While still in your sandbox:
cvs commit -m "Adding mynewfile"
