Well it is simple .. you checked out the files with the 'anoncvs' account 
.. so the user name is saved with the repository information ..  you can 
change the user setting for the repository that you had already checked out 
doing the following :
In every folder you checked out there is a folder called "CVS" .. it 
contains information about the files in the repository, the user, enteries 
and so on.. one of the files is called : Root .. open it in a text editor, 
you will see that it will contain the root information, in you yo case :
:pserver:anoncvs at arabeyes dot org:/home/CVS
change the anoncvs to you username .. you have to go this in every folder 
in the repository, and change every 'Root' file .. for example there is CVS 
folder in :
\kde-i18n\CVS
\kde-i18n\kdebase\CVS
\kde-i18n\kdeaddons\CVS
and so on , and in every CVS folder there is a Root file ..
the other choice you have is to Checkout the files again with the new 
username.. that way it will be stored in the Root file .. you have to 
checkout the files again completely, deleting the previous files ..

Good Luck
