Ah...  There's the problem.  I must've put quotes in when I rebooted once.
(now going to create an environment variable for my user...)  I figured it'd
take what was in the quotes like DOS normally does.  But it didn't and since
I was doing the initial checkout, I didn't have a sandbox created yet, so it
was reading the faulty CVSRoot.  (And no, I didn't have the *.  I figured
you'd know that I was using a real domain name instead of just 'domain'.)

Why in the world does it change the protocol to :ext: if the CVSRoot is
unreadable??  If it doesn't exist, it throws an error, but if it is invalid
it doesn't?  Odd software.

Thanks, Gabriel!

Spaces and quotes ARE significants for the SET command! (You have created a
hard-to-query variable with a trailing space in its name, and quotes inside
its value). And I hope that * is not actually there.

set CVSROOT=:sspi:domain\Dusty at CVSServer:/Repository

Anyway, the CVSROOT environment variable is only evaluated outside a
sandbox.
