[cvsnt] failed to create lock directory?

[kwhitefoot at hotmail.com]

I have the same problem and none of the suggested reasons apply (as far as 
I can tell).  The server is CVSNT 2.09 running on NT4, the client is 
TortoiseCVS 1.4.5 (CVSNT 2.04, SSH TortoisePlink 0.53).

The repository is on a RAID 5 disk local to the server, the CVSROOT\config 
file is unchanged from its default and does not specify AtomicCommits.

I am the only user.
