The -d option to specify the CVSROOT comes before the export command.

Something like the following:

   cd e:\temp
   c:\cvs -d :local:e:/cvs/repository export -D 2003-11-02 testing

should do what you want. Read

    http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs-1.11.10/cvs_2.html#SEC9

for more details.

        Enjoy!
