Hmm. I tested and it worked fine on my system. I'm not sure what you mean by "the CVS repo itself." I actually linked within the $CVSROOT hierarchy. If your version of CVS isn't happy with the symlinks for some reason, you could just munge your cvs hierarchy (assuming you are just doing a one-shot import):

  cd /newcvs
  mkdir all
  for i in `ls | grep -v all | grep -v CVSROOT`; do
      mv $i all
  done
