This can happen if you try to make the Cygwin CVS use a workspace
which was created or used by a different Windows CVS (commandline,
WinCVS, whatever...).  They leave <CR>s on the end of lines in CVS/*
files (in this case probably CVS/Repository) and the Cygwin CVS,
looking for UNIX EOLs, treats them as part of the directory/file name,
sends them to the server, then the server reports
no-such-file-or-directory since it doesn't know about "vice<CR>", only
"vice".
