Can you run the lockserver in test mode (net stop cvslock, cvslock -test) and
post what happens when one of the clients connect?  I'd expect something like:

(#0) New client tmh(spock.nodomain.org) root D:/repo
(#0) Lock request on D:/repo (Read Advisory Directory)
(#0) Destroying lock on D:/repo
No more clients
Lock Client #0 closed

It sounds like you have something in your cvsroot that's causing the paths not to match.
