'no such repository' received in cygwin...

Hi -
 
I just installed cygwin on my WindowsXP laptop and am trying to use to run CvS commands from it but am running into problems.  I've got CvS 1.11.22 client/server version in cygwin shell.
 
First of all, I have a successful connection to our remote CvS repository through Eclipse thorugh :pserver connection string - that's working just fine.   The connection string there is as follows:  :pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot
 
I've set the environment variable on my machine as follows:  HOME=C:\
I was able to launch the cygwin window and issue the following commands successfully:
 
CVSROOT=:pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot
export CVSROOT
echo $CVSROOT
:pserver:address@hidden:/usr/local/cvsroot
 
I was also able to login like this:
cvs login
I get prompted for password, I enter it and it seems to get accepted, and then I get this message:
': no such repository'
 
From this point forward, every CVS command I enter ends up with this error message - what to do?
 
I should point out that my directory structure is as follows:
c:\workspaces\client\cods\CommProj
c:\workspaces\client\cods\EJBProj
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj\CVS
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj\src
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj\src\CVS
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj\src\com
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj\src\com\CVS
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj\src\com\ibm
c:\workspaces\client\cods\WebProj\src\com\ibm\CVS
... etc
 
So when I navigate to cygdrive/c/workspaces/client/cods/WebProj and type in cvs cmd - I get this:
   $ cvs diff
   : no such repository
 
Please help me figure out how to do this in cygwin - I believe I'm close, but still am missing some crucial setup step.
 
Thanks,
james
