It does work and the syntax is in the help file.

The trick is that by default everyone has full access so you first
need to specify a default ACL that denies this full access and then
add any user/group specific ACLs permitting access.

For example:
cvs chacl -a noread,nowrite,nocreate,notag,nocontrol
cvs chacl -u groupname -a read,write,create,tag,control
cvs chacl -u username -a read

This will set up deny-everything defaults with read-only for user
"username" and full access to group "groupname".
