This won't work. It's parsed as:
(find ... | grep ... | xargs rm) && xargs cvs rm
The pipeline feeds into the first xargs; the second reads from
the tty. Putting in the parens:
find ... | grep ... | (xargs rm && xargs cvs rm)
still wouldn't work; the first xargs would consume all the input,
and the second wouldn't see any. The only way I can think of
to do this is to save the list in an intermediate buffer.
Fortunately, this particular case is easier:
find . -type f -print | grep -v CVS | xargs cvs rm -f
(No quotes, by the way.)
