I do not think that rsync usage is granted to access cvs tree.

Normally rsync works only for download areas. The idea of
CVS is not to use rsync to deal with CVS directories.

So, we do not agree that the command you type previously
should be able to complete without errors.

I think you misread my question: I ask for read permission.  
You answer that I cannnot get write permission. Can you see  
that your answer does not answer my question?    
  
Do we agree that the command   
   
  rsync -zavessh --delete --ignore-errors   
sv.gnu.org:/cvsroot/ /home/savannah/cvsroot/   
   
should be able to complete without errors - even if I do   
not have _write_ permissions? (assuming that I have write  
permission to /home/savannah on my local system)   
  
I would expect doing a 'chmod -R a+rX cvsroot' on the  
CVS-server will solve my problem.
