Note: for version I indicated output of
cvs --version
... not
uname -r

The version of the Linux OS does not matter...much.

OK.
repo on Linux.
Client on Windows.
accessing the repo with :pserver:.
Unknown cvs version on server.
building inside of Cygwin environment.
Unknown cvs versions on client.
receiving error message:
"cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot open 
nmstools/j2sdk/linux/1.5.0_07/demo/jvmti/hprof/src/CVS: Permission denied"

sandbox on SMB???
sandbox is SMB mounted from a Unix server???
sandbox checked out with cygwin cvs or CVSNT???
ant trying to use cygwin cvs or CVSNT version???

Are you using the cygwin cvs, CVSNT directly or through wincvs...or all the 
above?
Note: you should IIRC not mix the use of cygwin cvs with CVSNT as they use 
different line endings (sometimes) on/in the control files.

The error message above looks like you specified a sandbox to use as a 
repository????

What does your $CVSROOT variable look like?
