Try changing your inetd.conf entry for cvspserver so that the cvs command
reads something like (all on one line however):

cvspserver      stream tcp nowait root /mware/cvs/bin/cvs cvs -f
--allow-root=/path_to_cvsroot pserver

This will stop cvs pserver from trying to look at the files in the user's
home directory under which it runs (which is root before is changes to the
logged in user).

There can be one called cvsignore in the CVSROOT module (without the .
prefix) and you can have one in your home directory called .cvsignore and
also in each sub-directory of each module for specific ignores for a given
directory.
