Can I not use extssh?
The 'cvs' command tool requires CVSROOT=:ext:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local or [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local with CVS_RSH=ssh In that configuration, the command prompts for a password. So I guess you have to use: <cvs cvsRoot="[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/local" cvsRsh="ssh" ... As 'cvs' task does not provide a way to intercept password prompt, you have to install a public key on the server to authenticate without a password prompt.
