For both commands: if the folder names contain spaces (like "folder 1"),
you need to put them in quotes (like "folder 1").

For cvs tag: the command works if you are in the common parent folder of
all 5 folders.

For cvs rtag: the command works if all 5 folders are top-level folders of
your repository.

In your scenario, I prefer cvs tag. The tag command tags the files you have
in your sandbox, the rtag command tags the files in the repository. Since
you are verifying the files in your sandbox, you know that /these/ are the
ones you want to tag, so I would tag exactly these. (There is the
possibility that someone else commits a file after your update. Using tag
this doesn't matter, but with rtag you would include the recent untested
commit into the tag.)
