Look through the archives here--I'm not certain you can use spaces in the 
modules file, or at the least you need to escape them.  Also, the modules 
file you list wouldn't be necessary if you're using cvsnt for the 
server--which version of cvs are you using on the server?

Could be anti-virus realtime file scan interference.  Make sure that is 
turned off, and that all cvs users have full permissions to add / delete 
files in the repository.  I documented my permissions setup at 
http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/SetAcl for reference.

Hope this helps.
