1. You must be working on the CVSNT server console in order to create
repositories, this cannot be done remotely.

2. Are you by any chance using a path to the repository root that
contains spaces? That is no good. The reason is that the commands are
split on whitespace so your intended command becomes mangled.
Use a repository prefix like c:\cvsrepo and base your repositories
there using non-spaced repository names. Modules (=folders inside cvs)
likewise are not supposed to contain spaces in their names.
