I assume you are trying to have a method to pull back from CVS exactly what 
was built for a release.

1) use tags, they will make your life easier and sanity last longer.

2) use the following method:
cd /tmp/
cvs checkout baselinename
cvs tag build_tag_bla baselinename
cvs release -d baselinename

cd /where/you/usualy/make/release/builds
cvs checkout -rbuild_tag_bla baselinename
#and for your method of sanity, even though it is no longer needed.
cvs -f stat | grep "Repository revision" | gawk '{print $4 " " $3}'
cd baselinename
make\ant\buildsystem world

sleep better. :)

I have posted partial scripts to this list in the past for doing part of this 
work.
