I've run into this before. The client side execution of the edit command ends up forming file names using the repository, and ends up looking for the optional .perms file. If the repository has a drive in the specification that maps to an offline device on the client (like an empty CD-ROM), you get the Permission denied error. A quick workaround is to insert a data cd in the cd-rom drive. I think another possible workaround with the latest cvsnt server is to enable the repository prefix. With the prefix in place the client does not have the D:, and the file specs formed default to looking at the current drive.
