xinetd has $HOME set in its environment and CVS is inheriting it. 
You'll need to get it unset -- either by changing the way xinetd is
started so that it doesn't have it set (which is probably the best
solution) or changing the way it invokes CVS.  See the archives of this
list at www.egroups.com for some possible solutions.
