[cvsnt] Change filetype to ASCII fails - no such directory

I have a file (or 2) that was accidentally committed as binary (-kb).
Apparently
cvs -d rep admin -kt repository/path/to/file
is supposed to change the file format. However it says:
cvs [admin aborted]: no such directory 'repository/path/to/file'
The last trace line with -t is:
-> Requesting server cvsrc (read-cvsrc2)
However a command such as
cvs -d rep ls repository/path/to/file
works fine.
A possible alternative procedure of removing the file, committing it and
adding it again with -kt doesn't work -- the previous file format
overrides the format from cvs add.
Any ideas gratefully received.
thx
