Don't use loginfo, the calls are made before CVSNT releases the locks
on the files.
Use postcommit instead.
I use it on a website module by updating a checked out copy of the
site whenever a file is committed. After a few tweaks it works pretty
well.

Tip:
Make sure your scripted batch file sets the current drive and dir
before executing anything. When CVSNT calls the scripts the current
dir is in the repository side.
