You should only use -d when doing the initial checkout -- once you have
stuff checked out, CVS knows where it came from (from CVS/Repository and
CVS/Root), so there's no need to specify it on the command line and
doing so can be dangerous (see below).

Most likely, he used the wrong -d option for the directory he was in.
An explicit -d option takes precedence over CVS/Root and CVS/Repository,
which in turn take precedence over $CVSROOT.
