cvs.exe is always started as LocalSystem, then it changes just after 
authenication.  Don't change the user for cvsservice.exe unless you're 
sure you know the consequences - and when setting up definately don't as 
it'll just introduce other issues.

cvsservice.exe creates its own SPN - I'm not sure it'll even 
authenticate unless it's mapped to the machine account - kerberos is 
very picky about what it allows.

If it's not impersonating it's probably a result of changing to a 
nonstandard configuration - get it working first, then start changing 
things one at a time.
