1) you need to run init directly on the machine with the repository without 
using any of the remote protocols.
2) the stuff after -d should probably match what you set CVSROOT to above. I 
think you have an extra : in your init line.
3) after init'ing the repo you will need to 'cvs login' to it before doing 
anything else.

4) if the above advice does not solve your problem, then you are likely having 
a CVSNT problem that would be better answered on their list. see links below.
