cvs checkin issues

I have created a cvs directory and want to check in some files; I'm getting error:

Code:

cvs [import aborted]: tag '-m' must start with a letter

Here is what I have done (everything as root):

- mkdir /cvsroot
- cd /cvsroot
- cvs -d /cvsroot
- export CVSROOT=/cvsroot && echo $CVSROOT
- cd /path/to/project (here I have lots of files eg. file1.txt)
- cvs import -d /cvsroot/ mydocs -m"initial checkin"
