Sounds bad.

I'd start with a fresh checkout of  /opt/tinyos-2.x
or a cvs update -dPC  to over write bad.  Also notice any ? files and 
remove,
so you see it's easier to do another checkout.  Overwriting file
in /opt/tinyos-2.x/tos/chips/cc2420  isn't going to help beginning efforts,
and it's always good to do a cp -r /opt/tinyos-2.x
/opt/tinyos-2.x-12dce07 or some such before trying some kind of code 
merging.

I'm at a point where I have learned a little tinyos-style
and made some apps by merging code
in with the  /opt/tinyos-2.x tree, and it's getting hard to manage, so
I'm learning to use Makefile directives like
CFLAGS += -I$(TOSDIR)/lib/net/ -I$(TOSDIR)/lib/net/ctp  .

With CFLAGS like that, the compiler looks in default places in the 
tinyos-2.x tree plus the extra ones.  That way we can compile code that 
uses the current dir, not have that dir located T2 or contrib code tree, 
and have it use code from
  T2 and contrib and a local dir we are developing in.
