Are you trying to run a cron job to do a cvs update on a
nightly basis, or something?

If so, I believe the reason that it won't work is that ssh
requires a controlling shell. I had a similar problem with
OpenUT - I had planned to update the website from a copy
held in CVS every twleve hours, but it faltered on that
point. I could run my shell script when logged in, but not
from cron.

If not... pass :-/ 
'cvs update' should work from an ssh session to
shell.sourceforge.net, it always has for me anyway.
