Did a message with the revision number appeared at this point?

This output means: the files marked with I are being ignored, all the other=
s are
 sent but nothing happens on the server side... the server should have repo=
rted
a line with N for new file; probable cause: permissions don't allow the ser=
ver
to create anything (you don't report what was actually done on the reposito=
ry).

From your description you are looking for trouble by using text mode mounted
directories, you are blindly testing all permutations that come to your min=
d and
in short: wasting time.

If you run cvs through ssh the repository has to belong (or at least has to=
 be
writable) by the user (and/or group) that is logging in.  The same goes for
CVSROOT on the repository (the history log changes).  Since you don't show =
any
user id on your example that means the user you are logged as has to exist =
and
have the required privileges on jayabel.com (and on the other non-cygwin
machines you used).
