I use this constellation myself very often, and I do not have this
problem. Thus, from my point of view, this seems not to be correct
anymore. But I'm sure others will have to say more on this topic.

Perhaps, this was meant for cvsnt clients?

No. The problem is that you did not read the sourceforge documentation
correctly. ;-)

  Quoting http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=122047:

  "Anonymous CVS Access
  [... telling about pserver ...]

  Developer CVS Access via SSH
  [... telling about writing to cvs with ssh]"

You might want to check out
  
http://sourceforge.net/docman/display_doc.php?docid=14033&group_id=1#howtoaccess:
  
  "If you are a project developer and will be writing to the CVS
  repository, you will require an additional piece of software, an SSH
  client."

I highly recommand you read the above mentioned web pages, they tell you
all you need to set up cvs with sourceforge.

Good luck,
   Spiro.
