By default SSPI explicitly denies access to network shares.  This is a
security feature built into Win2k.  I strongly recommend not trying to
use a repository over a network share (for reasons discussed many times
elsewhere).  If you must, you need to give Security Delegation Privilige
to myuser* (for SSPI you can't just make up usernames, they must exist and
have login rights to the server, because the authentication is done at NT
system level not by cvs).

abuse it.
