I guess that means an SSH tunnel is not required to access the rsync
daemon holding the CVS repositories.  You could continue using the
SSH-less command that worked, or you could use the SSH tunnel anyway if
you wish to have your data protected in transit.

Just run the "Tunnel command" shown by the batch file and kill it with
Ctrl-C once it connects successfully:

ssh -i "E:\BTP\PuTTY\myPrivateKey_SSH2DSA.ppk" -L 9119:127.0.0.1:873
SvcwRsync at myProject.cvs.sourceforge.net -T -N
