Unhelpful, but indicative that it's a network issue:

http://cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2004-March/011565.html

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/info-cvs/2005-11/msg00059.html

http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2005-May/019028.html

If this is a local sandbox then let us know.  Otherwise, sandboxes that 
are on network drives are only supported by the 'pro' version of CVSNT.

See the postcommit and other server-side scripts.  Depending on what you 
want to do within that script, there are different scripts that fire at 
different times.
