If I use a saved session, then the session is set to do SSH2 by default, which works. If I use an explicit username and password, then plink defaults to SSH1. Consequently it doesn't find the SSH2 key stored in pageant. Using cvs -d :ssh;ver=2:... works OK. plink has a "-i" command line argument to specify the key file; alternatively, it can use a key file specified as part of a saved session.
