No, that's not the prolem.  The _protocol_ in both instances is
identical from CVS' point of view.  All we're changing is the tool used
to invoke the remote execution.  This tool's name should be recorded
along with the the $CVSROOT information since these two pieces of
information undoutably go hand-in-hand.

That could solve the problem as well, but seems to me to be the wrong
approach....
