Ummm...why don't you try to run setup again, and install the official,
cygwin,  pre-compiled version of CVS.  Then, try some SIMPLE tests --
create a LOCAL repository, checkin, checkout from THAT without

Oh, yeah, and some information about your system would help: send
`cygcheck -s -v -r` output to the list.
