To debug the problem a little further you can try to use variable
========================================================================
$CVS_CLIENT_LOG
Used for debugging only in client-server mode. If set, everything send
to the server is logged into `$CVS_CLIENT_LOG.in' and everything send
from the server is logged into `$CVS_CLIENT_LOG.out'.
========================================================================
and cvs protocol description, which can be found here, for example:
http://www.loria.fr/~molli/cvs/doc/cvsclient_5.html
Looking at the files you'll probably see what server was waiting for,
but haven't gotten.
