Because the complaint is about a bogus CVSROOT in CVS/Root and -d on the
command line overrides CVS/Root.  As far as I know, the *only* way to
get that error is to have a bogus CVS/Root file -- I suggest you check
again carefully.  If you're certain you don't have a CVS/Root file, try
running with tracing turned on (the global -t option) and post the
result.
