What is your Fedora accounts name?  That is the only part of the
original CVSROOT example that you should touch:

export CVSROOT=:ext:<YOUR_ACCOUNT_HERE>@cvs.fedora.redhat.com:/cvs/docs

I did a quick check (may not have been in the right place, though) and
didn't see "journo_bouy" or "manix" as a Fedora account.
