Hi Bill,
You can not import from cvs using this tool, into
existing perforce repository. 

You will have to merge the two repositories using 
perfmerge2.pl 

cvs2p4 create not only a new depot but also a separate
database.
[ So use a different connection info in cvs2pl config
file and **never point to the existing perforce
repository** ]


Regards,
Biswajit.
