It seems as all permissions are stored in the file .perms -> Can a copy of the rights to the sub directory done automatically? This is just important for the initialization phase. There would be no need to keep this in sync with changes lateron.

You want to use -R.  I believe the permissions look to their parent for 
permissions when not explicitly set though, have you seen something to 
the contrary?.

C:\test>cvs -H setacl
Usage: cvs chacl -R [-r tag] {user|default}:[{[r][w][c]|[n]}] [directory...]
        -R      Recursively set permissions
        -r      Set permissions on specific branch
