Did you try :pserver:domain\\user at server:/repository ?
CVSNT is now rather picky about the backslashes so you might want to
manually check the CVSROOT/passwd file and see if the accounts there
have domain\user in them and possibly change to domain\\user just for
a test ( and don't use cvs passwd to do that, edit the file in place
for the test ).

Just an idea....
