You passwords are not correct:
do a manual login and and take the password from your ~.cvspass for the 
ALICE_URL and not the one from the CVSROOT/passwd. There the passwords are 
crypted completly different ( CVSROOT/passwd is crypted unix like and 
~/.cvspass is only scrambled).

That should work
