This means that your server does not serve out a repository by this
name. You have to check the naming on the server.

Nope, you are *not* connecting to the cvs server at all when you use
the :local: protocol. What you are doing is that you direct your
*client* program to dig directly into the repository files instead of
passing via the server. No server is involved at all in :local:
operations.
