-------------------------------------------------------------------
I've experienced the same issue and traced it down to a cvsnt inconvenience.
I'll try to explain my findings.
The -d argument gets passed to the server. The server process creates a local
copy in a tmp dir for the checkout with that argument as name. It does not
create the required subdirectories and thats why the checkout will fail. I
assume your cvsnt/cvs server is running in a unix environment, because it works
with backslashes for you. I've discovered the same workaround. It's working
because backslashes are valid in unix filenames/directories, and the first
level directory is created in the tmpdir.
I suggest not to pass the -d argument to the server, when doing 'partial
checkouts' with subdirs.
I'd rather suggest to implement a client-side redirection of the
files/directories.
