Did a message with the revision number appeared at this point?

This output means: the files marked with I are being ignored, all the others are
sent but nothing happens on the server side... the server should have reported
a line with N for new file; probable cause: permissions don't allow the server
to create anything (you don't report what was actually done on the repository).

If you run cvs through ssh the repository has to belong (or at least has to be
writable) by the user (and/or group) that is logging in. The same goes for
CVSROOT on the repository (the history log changes). Since you don't show any
user id on your example that means the user you are logged as has to exist and
have the required privileges on jayabel.com (and on the other non-cygwin
machines you used).
