The details help.  What version of CVSNT are you using?

You don't need a lockdir when you have the LockServer set up.  Make sure 
the lockserver service is running on your server, and that you can 
telnet to it local from the server.  Clients never directly connect to 
LockServer.  When CVSNT is using the LockServer, there are no physical 
files created anywhere for locks, but you will still get temp files 
created when people are doing checkins and such.

It's OK if CVSNT program and repository are on different partitions. 
I'd recommend you have the CVS temp dir set to a directory on the same 
partition as the repository (this is just an assumption that it's faster 
for CVSNT).

I have no idea on this one.  If you don't get an answer within a few 
days then try asking again with some specificity in the subject or 
posting to the bug tracker.
