What server version are you using?  The new syntax wasn't added until 
version 2.5.01 (later cvshome CVS also have something similar but it's 
not exactly the same).

The same script against the cvsnt repository, Win32 client:

D:\CVSROOT>cvs commit -fm "test script" test.txt
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
This is a test of the commitinfo script handling.  Please
ignore.
/usr/local/cvs/CVSROOT/testScript.sh test.txt test script CVSROOT
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Checking in test.txt;
/usr/local/cvs/CVSROOT/test.txt,v  <--  test.txt
new revision: 1.37; previous revision: 1.36
done
