I'm running ViewCVS under Python under Cygwin.

As you probably know Cygwin is a Unix-emulation environment.

Nope, it's quite recent 1.0-dev build. And yes it does have
the cvsnt integration stuff.

I think I've figured it out now. Quite simply the Windows tools
such as CVSNT don't understand the Unix filenaming syntax used
in Cygwin. :(

However, not that I know this is the problem it's a lot easier
to try finding a possible solution.
