THere should be no cvs.exe running at all at this time! The cvs.exe is
only *used* by the service whenever there is a command received. The
service executable is cvsservice.exe. If you have a cvs.exe hanging
around at backup time then either you have a user active or you have a
lost command that did not stop properly and in this case you probably
also have a locked file in your repository.
You should add a kill cvs.exe to your script or schedule kill cvs.exe
at some time before the backup.

My backup system script works fine, but I don't touch cvslock (note
that the xcopy line has been wrapped and that the service name is cvs
because I use 2.0.41a):

@echo off
rem This batch file backs up the cvs repository to Altair
net stop cvs
xcopy c:\cvsrepo\*.* \\Altair\cvsrepo /E /C /H /R /K /Y >
c:\cvscopy.log
net start cvs
