To be honest I have no idea what could be the problem, try executing the 
    command-line cvs and log the protocol traffic by setting the 
enviroment variable CVS_CLIENT_LOG. the same is done for javacvs by 
setting the runtime variable -JcvsClientLog=<path> i believe.. comparing 
these two we could figure out more.. my first shot is that thet problem 
lies in the dollar sign character on the path.
