This is suspicious:

        cvs login: CVSROOT requires a path spec:
        cvs login:
:(gserver|kserver|pserver):[[user][:password]@]host[:[port]]/path
        cvs login: [:(ext|server):][[user]@]host[:]/path

is exactly what a cvs 1.11.x client will print when it's invoked from the
command line with a DOS path in the CVSROOT, so there's more than one
client on the machine, which won't help things (especially if it gets
invoked accidentally by the service).

'The current directory is invalid' tends to get printed when things like UNC
paths are used - where are the repository & temp actually located?  - It's
printed by cmd.exe when it can't start up because you're trying to run it
somewhere that doesn't actually exist.  The '-t' output is pretty verbose
at this point and will usually tell you exactly what the problem is.
