What do you install a server for if you don't use it? :local: bypasses the
server completely and has the client act as a server itself. It is intended
for single-machine/single-user setups.

Does emacs have it's own built-in CVS client or is it using the cvs.exe from
CVSNT as a client? If it doesn't recognize this CVSROOT, it sounds like it's
using a built-in client and it appears that one either doesn't like the
drive letter in your CVSROOT or maybe even doesn't support local mode at
all.
