Rsync is designed for one-way copying; for two-way synchronization, use 
Unison ( http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ ) instead.  Even
so, Unison does file-level synchronization without any regard for the
special structure of CVS repositories, so it may corrupt the
repositories, especially if a change to the same file is committed on
both sites.  You may be able to find a specialized solution for
synchronizing CVS repositories; see this message:

Or you could switch to a distributed version control system, which has
built-in support for repository synchronization.  My personal favorite
is git ( http://git.or.cz/ ).
