CVS, emacs, shh, cygwin

[Seth Copen Goldstein]

I am having trouble using cvs, emacs, bash, etc. on my windows XP machine.
My configuration is:

CVS: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server)
Emacs: GNU Emacs 21.2.1 (i386-msvc-nt5.1.2600)\n of 2002-03-19 on buffy
Cygwin: not sure version, cygwin1.dll is dated: 2/25/2002
Ssh: (from cygwin): OpenSSH_3.2.3p1, SSH protocols 1.5/2.0, OpenSSL
0x0090604f

I have afs (version 1.2.2b), but would also be ok with using SSH.
However:

If I can't set a CVSROOT to :local:f:/path (it complains about path not
being absolute)
I can't set CVS_RSH=SSH, because cvs replies:
cvs [checkout aborted]: end of file from server (consult above messages if
any)

(there are no error messages)

Note: I can't get ssh to work either (it replies: setgid 1: Invalid
argument)

So, I am basically in deep trouble.  Can anyone help.  Thanks.
