What about the parent directories above cvsroot/CVSROOT ? you don't show the ls listing for those as Larry mentioned. If they likewise are owned by cvs:techops and aren't 777, you still won't be able to write your history file into CVSROOT as user idw:idwgroup
Also, I have found that creating a cvs group and setting the setgid bit on the root of the repository is very important - it ensures that files are always created accessible to any developer in the cvs group. Having your tree owned by cvs:techops and users that aren't in the same group seems problematic.
