cvs [import aborted]: c:\CVS\Master /CVSROOT: No such file or directory

"cvs [import aborted]: c:\CVS\Master /CVSROOT: No such file or directory "
when trying to create a CVS project. Any ideas whats casing this error ?
I have installed CVS 1.10 as follows (on NT4.0SP3):
1) Added the CVS directory to my PATH variable
2) Constructed a master source repository with
cvs -d :local:C:\CVS\Master init
3) Added the environment variable CVSROOT=:local:C:\CVS\Master

First, I think you'll be all around better off using / instead of \ in
the
CVS variables. Also, I'd consider a different name for the repository
directory since 'CVS' is a special dir name for CVS.

Check to see if you have an extra space after "Master" whereever you set
CVSROOT (autoexec.bat?)
On our network, sometimes our autoexec.bat's get rewritten and have extra
spaces after CVS_RSH then ssh won't work anymore :-/
Fortunately, you really don't need CVSROOT set.
Once you do the initial checkout, you no longer need that set as it will
pull it out of the CVS subdirectory.
