Can't get JSF sources from CVS

Question

I'm trying to download the correct version of JSF to debug a problem I'm having with JSF in Glassfish. I'm using GF v2 b41c, which states that it uses JSF cvs tag: JSF_1_2_GFINT_B17. (See http://wiki.java.net/bin/view/Projects/GlassFishSourcesBundle.)
When I try to use CVS to get JSF, I get the following error msg:
"User rickhoro doesn't have <VersionControl - Read> access to project javaserverfaces-sources"
I'm using the following setup for CVS in NetBeans 5.5.1, but I get the same response with a CVS client.
Access Method: pserver
User: <my username>
Host: cvs.dev.java.net
Repository Path: /cvs
Module: javaserverfaces-sources
Branch: JSF_1_2_GFINT_B17
Do I need to request access from somebody? I find this strange -- JSF is open source now, correct? Why isn't it available?
Please help.

Thanks for detailed info, but still no solution here.
I downloaded the 1.2_04-p01-b10 source and added the src folders to the Sources tab of the Glassfish v2b41c server in NetBeans 5.5.1.
I'm using Seam, so I put a breakpoint in SeamPhaseListener.beforePhase(). When I click on the LifecycleImpl.execute() or LifecycleImpl.phase() in the Call Stack tab (of NB) the program counter (ie. cursor) appears on the wrong line -- about 8 lines off from where it should be: (see the following)
                while (listenersIterator.hasNext())  {
                    PhaseListener listener = listenersIterator.next();
                    if (phaseId.equals(listener.getPhaseId()) ||
                        PhaseId.ANY_PHASE.equals(listener.getPhaseId())) {
                        listener.beforePhase(event);   [SHOULD BE HERE]      
        catch (Exception e) {
            if (LOGGER.isLoggable(Level.WARNING)) {
                LOGGER.warning("phase("
                               + phaseId.toString()  [SHOWS UP HERE INSTEAD]
                               + ','
                               + context
                               +
                               ") threw exception: "
                               + e
                               + ' '
                               + e.getMessage()
                               +
                               "\n"
                               + Util.getStackTraceString(e));
            }I assume that these JSF sources do not match the binaries used by this Glassfish implementation. Is there any other reason I would be seeing this mismatch? Makes it pretty near impossible to debug the problem. Please, I would really appreciate further help here.
Thanks very much,
Rick
