I cannot reproduce your problem, so I suspect that it is a Windows-only
phenomenon.  Passing command-line arguments with unusual characters to
Windows commands is notoriously difficult.

There is a good chance that the trunk version of cvs2svn will work
better.  Alternatively, you could try using the --use-internal-co option
to bypass CVS altogether.
