This directory does not exist because the session CVSNT is running in
does not have a drive mapping. Note that you are seeing drive mappings
when you log in only because you have previously used Windows Explorer
to create the drive mapping and checked the "reconnect on login"
checkbox. So when you log in Windows Explorer will recreate the drive
mapping. But CVSNT is not running in your logged in session and it
does not use the Windows Explorer, so the drive mapping does not exist
for it.
It is generally a BAD idea to try using a network drive for CVS
repositories even though it has been reported that it can be set up,
for example by using the \\server\share notation and the proper CVSNT
user setup.
