I think you have to escape the spaces in the file name

Try: ':pserver:USER at HOST:/C//Dokumente\ und\ Einstellungen/zk/Eigene
Dateien/cvsfiles', I'm not sure if that will do it or not--search the list
archives for working examples if that doesn't work (I know there are some).

But even better, use the Repository root setting.  Set that to "C:\Dokumente
und Einstellungen\zk\Eigene Dateien" on the server then use:
':pserver:USER at HOST:/cvsfiles'.  The downside of that is then you need all
the repositories in the same place (if that's a problem at all).  

Hope this helps.
