Flávio & Mike, Thank you for your ideas and constructive help. Last night I tried Flávio's suggestion regarding the 'List Folder' permission on every folder above the repository, and it actually worked! This sounds like something that might want to make its way into an FAQ for installing CVSNT on a Windows server to make the process a little less painful for the next person, but I'm not sure who to contact. Any ideas? Thank you again for your terrific help!

I had a respoitory on a drive which was unlocked only to Admins, permissions were assigned on a per-directory basis. This worked fine until I updated to CVSNT 2.0.51a/b/c. Tony talked sometime ago about CVSNT having to list directories to resolve issues regarding name case, so I tried changing this and ended solving it by giving 'List Folder' permission to 'Users' group on every folder bellow (hmm, I mean parent folders) the repository folder. E.g. D:\services\cvs\<contract_id> 'D:\services\cvs' used to be the repository prefix. I had to add 'List Folder' permission to 'Users' group on 'D:\', 'services' and 'cvs'. Hope this helps.
