It sounds like it's working right now and was wrong before.

You have the default domain to the domain, so it will always look for 
DOMAIN\cvslocaluser unless you tell it otherwise.  You need to alias the

  user to MACHINE\cvslocaluser if you want to override that.

------------------------
The first thing I tried was to do this by editing the passwd file.
I replaced cvslocaluser with 3RAPPL01\cvslocaluser then tried but I
still
had the error. But now after finding the disk permission issue I
understand
the way it works and I just tested again with the local user and it
works
fine. So I am going to revert to this local user now to keep things tidy
(noone can use this account to access the disk via the network).
