Try executing various commands, leading up to cvs commands in an ssh shell.  
Something like:


     ssh -lcvsuser cvsserver.wherever.com 'echo $PATH'
     ssh -lcvsuser cvsserver.wherever.com 'pwd'
     ssh -lcvsuser cvsserver.wherever.com 'cvs --version'
     echo "elicit an error response^D" |ssh -lcvsuser cvsserver.wherever.com 
'cvs server'

'^D' represents a control-d character.  I can produce them in my shell with the 
sequence control-v + control-d.  'cvsuser' and the host name are arbitrary and 
depend on your
setup.

If none of those commands work, it's an ssh setup problem.  If they do work and 
the output doesn't help you diagnose the problem, send the output back to me 
and I'll try and
help some more.
