The repository itself must be on a binary (unix) mounted drive -- within
the conext of the service! Since you are probably starting the pserver
daemon from inetd, which is started under the *SYSTEM* user. It
(probably) doesn't matter where the checked-out or original-pre-import
sources are, but the repository must be on a unix mount.
Try starting from scratch:
On repository machine:
mount -b -s D:\my-repository /repository
(-s insures that this is a whole-system mount, so even the SYSTEM user
will see it)
export CVSROOT=/repository
cvs init
And then try importing a new project.
