Most likely, the problem is that some command your script uses doesn't
exist in your chroot jail -- perhaps even the script's interpreter.  I'd
suggest running CVS with tracing enabled to see if that tells you
anything, although I don't think it will.  If not, add an echo into a
file as the very first thing in the script to see if it's being run at
all.  If it is, you can add more echos to see where it dies.  You could
also try running the script manually inside the chroot jail.
