It looks as if you had not defined CVS_RSH appropriately. Make sure to use
  export CVS_RSH=ssh
before the cvs command (if you're not using Bash, the export command might
be different).
It that doesn't work either, try:
  ssh -v address@hidden
that should allow you to enter in subversions and then exit with an error
message from cvssh.

No. Your secret key id_rsa should be kept secret in you machine. What I said
was that ssh will compare id_rsa (in your machine) with authorized_keys in
Savannah (which should have a copy of the public part of your key: id_rsa.pub)
and if they match, it will let you in.

We should be getting closer to finding out where the problem is :-)
