Well it looks like you did manage to import the html into CVS.  I did not
know about the seperate repositories for source and html.
The html is in the source repository.  The html repository is empty.

I am guessing you have setup your ssh shared key already.

Here are the basic steps you should need to do to get the files in the
webcvs repository.

HTML_DIR=your dir of html source
cd $HTML_DIR

export CVS_RSH=ssh 
# actually import your files
cvs -z3 -dmarco at subversions.gnu.org:/webcvs/ import  non-gnu/rule/ start new

cd ..
mv $HTML_DIR $HTML_DIR.orig


# your original directory is not a cvs checked out repository so you
# actually need to check out the files to modify them in the future

# the checked out directory maintains it's state with a CVS subdir in every
# directory.  You can tell whether a dir was checked out from cvs by
# whether or not a CVS subdir exists.

cvs -z3 -dmarco at subversions.gnu.org:/webcvs/ co non-gnu/rule/ 
mv rule rule.html
cd rule.html
gvim <file>
cvs commit -m"modified html" <file>

# i think all the flags used to check out the module are maintained within 
# the CVS subdir including the username and full path to the repository.
# the -z3 may be an exception.

Let me know if these commands give you errors and save your error messages.
