The permissions look okay. You probably want to add the -t switch

cvs -t -d :pserver:localhost:/var/cvs login

to see if you can glean any more information about what is failing.
It could be some kind of bad argument to your xinetd.conf configuration
What do you have in /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver ?
Does it look something like this?

 ------- cut here for sample /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver -------
# default: on
# description: The CVS pserver is one of the most \
# insecure of protocols. It is not recommended \
# that you even consider using this on a network \
# where any potentially malicious users or viruses \
# might be able to attack it. Please consider \
# moving to use the :ext: method with CVS_RSH=ssh \
# in user environments as an alternative.

service cvspserver
{
   port        = 2401
   socket_type = stream
   protocol    = tcp
   wait        = no
   user        = root
   passenv     = PATH
   server      = /usr/bin/cvs
   server_args = -f --allow-root=/var/cvs pserver
}
 ------- cut here for sample /etc/xinetd.d/cvspserver -------

        Good luck,
