You might want to read up on how CVS works. As a warp-speed summary, there are two things you'll need to do before you can use 'cvs add' to add a file from a sandbox to a repository: you need a repository, and you need a sandbox!
0) If you haven't yet created a repository, create it and make sure your CVSROOT is set appropriately on the client;
1) You'll need to import one or more modules into the repository;
2) You'll need to check out at least one of those modules into a sandbox.
You've now established some revision-controlled files in the repo, and a local version of those in your sandbox. You could now create a new file in your sandbox, and use cvs add to add it to the list of revision-controlled files, so that it will be committed when you next commit.
Does that help, or is the problem deeper than that?
