I had tried that without success. However, this prompted me to look in the
working directory's cvs directory, and after I changed all the references in
the files there to use forward slash, I stopped getting the error.
Now on to figuring out why tkcvs just sits there with the Commit window up,
not actually committing anything...

Use a forward slash in CVSROOT instead of a backslash. And get used to
using forward slashes with CVS in general -- while backslashes usually
work, there are still lots of places where they don't work or don't work
quite right.
