Just some ideas of of the top of my head:

1. Try using 'cvs -d :ext:address@hidden:/cvs update ...' when you want 
to update. According to the manual '-d takes precedence over CVS/Root.

http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_2.html#SEC11

2. Export your testing sandbox directory rather than checkout/update. 
You'll have to export everything each time, instead of doing an update, 
but you won't have those pesky CVS/Root files hanging around.

3. Try using an alias that does this from your sandbox directory:

find . -name 'Root' -exec sed -i -e "s/ext:.*@/ext:walter@/" {} \;

Then do your 'cvs update'.
