Why not just use :ssh: protocol with CVSNT?  It works great for me with 
no fussing.  CVSROOT would be ":ssh:jgherman at servername.com:/repospath". 
  It also takes advantage of any keys stored in pageant and you can 
force ssh ver 2 if necessary with :ssh;ver=2: for the protocol (if 
memory serves).
