The users have local access to CVSNT directories (repo & temp).
The problem is certainly *not* with directory/file permissions.
The problem is with the logon process - the CVSNT tries to 
receive a SID from some mysterious reason (Event ID 537) it 
fails. Most likely is that some Microsoft patch changed the 
behavior of some system component(s).

(I am running CVSNT on a Win2K Advanced Server SP4 with the 
latest patches)
