The CVS checkout wouldn't work for me until I changed it as shown in the patch. I think the correct path is cvs/drupal not cvs/drupal-contrib. I'm confused about how the drupal-contrib path might work for other people- does it work?
drupal-contrib is used in all the documentation (e.g. http://drupal.org/node/321), and works for me. Perhaps you hit a technical glitch, or someone changed things very recently.
OK, thanks. It had to do with cvs login and my .cvspass file. I had a login stored in .cvspass for drupal but not drupal-contrib, which is why I have always been able to checkout modules using the drupal path but not the drupal-contrib. For reasons I don't yet understand, my cvs (on mac) requires that I have to run cvs login first. Thanks for your help, obviously has nothing to do with drush.

Have you tried running the commands on http://drupal.org/node/321 directly?
