AFAICT your build file should work. I can't tell from your report if it's an
Ant, CVS or StatCvs problem.

You can try a development snapshot of StatCvs, maybe the problem was already
fixed:
http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/~cyganiak/statcvs/v0.2-dev/

If that doesn't work either: What error does StatCvs report? Can you share a
snippet of the CVS log that shows those funny characters?

Best regards,
Richard


P.S.: FYI, there's a CVS Ant task:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/cvs.html

Here's the Ant snippet I use for generating CVS logs:

  <property name="cvs.logfile" value="cvs.log"/>
  <target name="cvs.update">
      <cvs command="update -d"/>
  </target>
  <target name="cvs.log">
      <cvs command="log" output="${cvs.logfile}"/>
  </target>
