Where it says:


        } else {
                execl("/bin/cvs", "cvs", 
                        "server",
                        NULL);
        }

You'll probably want to add additional arguments, one per repository. Here's
an example from the LOSURS (www.losurs.org) repository (which uses a different
"run-cvs", but it's close enough and the differences don't affect the missing
argument problem):

        /* there should be --allow-root string for every
           repository you are going to allow access to */
        execl("/bin/cvs", "cvs",
                "--allow-root=/TILLMAN",
                "--allow-root=/LOSURS",
                "pserver",
                NULL);
