copy the file

cvs add the new file

cvs remove -f the old file

cvs commit

When you are ready to get a better system, move up to Subversion. I suspect 
it handles trivial refactors like that, without the copy-add-delete dance. 
CVS I suspect cannot gracefully rename a file from the command line. I 
suspect the admin option meant to clobber the raw file on the server.
