It doesn't with me (CVSNT 2.0.53).

Doing something like:

cvs rename test.txt ..\test.txt

does the following:
* As expected: remove the file from current dir (Sandbox)
* As expected: generate the file in the updir (..) (Sandbox)
* But: The moved file is not part of CVS anymore. I have to add and 
commit it again ...
* File test.txt within the Repository also keeps unchanged ...

Esp. the add command will break the continuity of history of the file - 
or doesn't it?

Addition:
The rename files in the CVS-subdirs look like:

Rename in CVS-dir in current dir: 
renametest/test/test.txt

Rename in CVS-dir in updir:
renametest/test/test.txt
renametest/test.txt
