Note that I *upload* to savannah.

It doesn't work the way I'm doing it.
Here's what I get:

rsync \
  -e ssh \
  -zrvtlp \
  --checksum \
  --exclude '*~' \
  ...
  --delete \
  --delete-excluded \
    cu/ \
  savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/coreutils/coreutils
You tried to execute: `/usr/local/bin/cvssh -c rsync --server -vltprcz 
--delete-excluded . /cvsroot/coreutils/coreutils'.
Sorry, you are only allowed to execute :
   - CVS_RSH=ssh cvs commands
   - rsync from /cvsroot or /upload.
   - rsync to /upload.
   - sftp to /upload.
   - scp to /upload.
