The immediate cause of the error is that CVS_RSH isn't set to "ssh" in
the environment. On the other hand, you wouldn't need to set CVS_RSH if
you were using pserver. On the other other hand, you only need to do a
"cvs login" if you're using pserver. On the other other other hand,
your -d <cvsroot> isn't of the pserver style. So I can't suggest a
solution without knowing which protocol you intend to use. :-)

What does your /usr/pkgsrc/CVS/Root say?
