Maybe this is obvious, but you do know that once you login to an anonymous cvs 
server via :pserver: protocol that you don't have to login again, unless and 
until you edit or delete ~/.cvspass, right?

I update frequently to several CVS repositories, including sword and 
bibletime, using the following  script:
-------------
pushd /usr/local/mirror/development
for project in alsa aolserver4 openacs4 postgresql/CURRENT bible ardour \ 
                   jackit vnc
        do
        pushd $project
        for dir in *
                do
                if [ -d $dir ]
                        then
                        pushd $dir
                        cvs update -d -P
                        popd
                fi
         done
        popd
done
popd
--------------------------
The directory 'bible' includes both sword and bibletime.  Once you have a good 
checkout, running 'cvs update -d -P' on it keeps it up to date, as long as 
you update frequently, where 'frequently' is determined by repository 
activity, not time.
