Chora is build to browse repositories not cvs projects, so it behaves as 
expected. As you already found out, CVSROOT refers to the root of the cvs 
directory, not to the directory named CVSROOT under the cvs root.

If want to avoid some projects to be displayed in Chora, that's what 
the 'restrictions' entry is for.
