If I interpret that correctly, you're running with the repository on a Windows share.

If that's not the case, then you've got a CVS subdirectory in your current directory that contains a bogus Root file. Either fix it or delete the CVS subdirectory entirely (which will remove that directory from CVS control). -Larry Jones I don't need to improve!
