Thank you for your help.
I searched the cvshome.org last week and found what it seemed, that couple of developers were talking and threading about this; yesterday, my search was not successful and I could not relocate that page again. I wish I had bookmarked it. Their site is NOT very intuitive in my opinion. Thanks again

Hello,

Well, ok. I use my XP (SP1) box (with a self-compiled cvs 1.11.17 on cygwin), set the paths correctly for accessing CVS and SSH, and tried it myself:
C:\>cvs co PROJECT
(The server is a Linux box, cvs 1.11.20:) The checkout worked flawlessly.
Thus, I still vote for the permissions problem. ;-) At least, I do not have an idea what else might be the problem.
Remember: On Windows, the administrator does not have unlimited rights like on unix-style machines. You might not have the right to create directories in C:\ itself?
I'm leaving the rest for the mailing list; perhaps there will be someone who has an idea and can jump in?

But thanks for your help.
