- ntserver as a protocol is depreciated
- use forward not reverse slashes too i.e. / not \

Normally you should never see this message (its part of the underlying cvs
wire protocol)... are you running the latest version of WinCVS (2.0.2.4)?

Normally, on a Windows-based cvsnt server you would, on the *server*, create
the repository using the cvsnt control panel applet.

Normally, on a 'nix-based cvsnt server you would, on the *server*, create
the repository by using the :local: protocol and giving the destination
path ,
e.g.
cvs -d :local:/var/lib/cvsnt/repo init

Yes, you can remotely create repositories, but this has to be specifically
enabled.
