FWIW: Are you aware that passing the CVSROOT to Update via the global -d 
option has no effect at all? Update will always use the CVSROOT that's 
stored in the ./CVS/Root files no matter what you pass on the 
commandline or store in the CVSROOT environment variable. The global -d 
option is only honored by commands that work on the repository rather 
than the sandbox, i.e. init, import, ls, rtag, rlog, rannotate, etc. and 
checkout if it's a fresh one. All others (e.g. update, status, add, 
remove, log, etc.) just silently ignore it.

Cheers,
