I'm running Jenkins from a Tomcat7 installation on a Solaris box and attempting to connect to a CVS repository on a remote machine with SSH. I'm getting a failure with this stack trace:

When I run the command "cvs checkout -D 21 May 2013 09:12:45 -0800 -d jenkins_project xml" from my tomcat user's command line, it works fine (after putting quotes around the date, and entering my password at the prompt, anyhow).
