I just tried it for my self. I created a folder C:\usr\local\cvsroot using
Windows explorer and then from within Bash I did the following:

Administrator AT BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ export
CVSROOT=:local:/cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvsroot 
Administrator AT BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cvs init
Administrator AT BEDROOM:/home/Administrator$ cd bin
Administrator AT BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cvs import test me start  
Administrator AT BEDROOM:/home/Administrator/bin$ cd /tmp     
Administrator AT BEDROOM:/tmp$ cvs checkout test 
cvs checkout: Updating test
U test/backup.pl
U test/backup.sh
U test/fixperms.sh
Administrator AT BEDROOM:/tmp$ cd test
Administrator AT BEDROOM:/tmp/test$ ll
total 7
drwxrwxrwx    2 Administ None         4096 Nov 13 17:18 CVS
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None          845 Nov 13 17:16 backup.pl
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None          131 Nov 13 17:16 backup.sh
-rwxrwxrwx    1 Administ None          939 Nov 13 17:16 fixperms.sh


Final silly question, if your sandbox was previously pointing to your
repository at //c/usr/local/cvs have you edited your CVS/Root files to point
them at the new repository at /cygdrive/c/usr/local/cvs?

You could try recreating your CVS repository, maybe move what you currently
have out of the way, do the CVS init stuff and then move your repository
(but not CVSROOT directory) back.

Other than that, I'm out of ideas.
