You cannot use network shares with CVSWEN NT.

In fact it is very hard even to use network mounted drives with CVSWEB NT,
but it is possible.  From memory I think you need to grant the user SYSTEM
access to the share and the folders within it (and the rcsutils and
cvs.exe).

Finally, many people also report needing the attached rlog to make it work.
