Have you correctly setup the connection sequance.

The information includes a login name, hostname, directory and login method.

You can test that you have this correct, by typing the following at the shell.
cvs login -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.eggheads.org:/usr/local/cvsroot
If this works, then you can post the login information into the environment variable, or, once you have downloaded a CVS version, it will be stored within the CVS datafile, and will not need to be set again, unless you delete the CVS datafile.
