You must have done the cvs checkout last time as root.  You probably have a ~/src/xastir directory and contents that are owned by root.

You can try (as a normal user):

     cd ~/src
     sudo rm -rf xastir

to get rid of of your src/xastir directory so that the cvs checkout command will work again for you as a normal user.
