CVS Trigger for CruiseControl Configuration

[Buorn, Yoway]

I am attempting to use a CVS trigger (loginfo) to asyncrhonously execute a script that runs "maven cruisecontrol" to reconfigure CruiseControl on each commit. The intent is to capture new CVS modules and automatically configure them for continuous integration. (even though I only want this upon adding of a module, I decided reconfiguration on every commit is not too bad of a side effect)

I have a build machine (running CruiseControl) and a CVS machine.  There is an entry in loginfo to execute a script on the CVS machine that uses rsh to execute commands on the build machine (to reconfigure CruiseControl).  This is what it looks like:

CVS Machine

/export/CVS/CVSROOT/loginfo

        DEFAULT (/import/home/yoway/bin/rsh-cvs-cruise.sh %s) >> /import/home/yoway/commitlog &

/import/home/yoway/bin/rsh-cvs-cruise.sh

        REMCMD="'bin/cvs-cruise.sh "${1}"'"
        echo ${REMCMD}
        eval rsh -l cruise -n db2.rd.ideas.gd-ais.com ${REMCMD}

CruiseControl Machine

/export/home/cruise/bin/cvs-cruise.sh

        MODULE=${1}

        source ~/.bash_profile
        cd checkout
        cvs co ${MODULE}
        cd ${MODULE}
        maven cruisecontrol

So my problem is this does not run asynchronously.  No matter where I put the '&', the commit always blocks until maven is done.  I've tried placing the '&' in rsh-cvs-cruise.sh after the last line (the eval line) and it still blocks.  I've tried placing the '&' after "maven cruisecontrol" in cvs-cruise.sh and it still blocks.

Finally, here are my questions:

1) Does this approach make sense?
2) How can I make my script run without blocking the commit?
3) If the first two questions can't be answered, can someone point me to examples of asynchronous scripts being run from loginfo?
