[cvsnt] cvsnt problem with NetBSD pkgsrc

Hello,

I'm trying to work with cvsnt on a NetBSD 1.6.2 server
so I can have sserver, and figured that it'd be good to
just have the one version of CVS floating around.

I've compiled up cvsnt and it seems to compile ok, but before
I replace the normal cvs stuff with cvsnt, I thought I'd better
check that the client would behave.  I'm seeing this when I
try to do a cvs up -Pd in /usr/pkgsrc :

rollcage2# ./cvs -v

Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.35 (client/server)

....

rollcage2# /usr/local/bin/cvs up -Pd
cvs update: CVSROOT "anoncvs at anoncvs.netbsd.org:/cvsroot" must be an 
absolute pathname
cvs [update aborted]: Bad CVSROOT.


The same command works fine with the standard cvs.

Is this something I'm misunderstanding in how cvsnt works? Do
I need to do a clean checkout rather than try and use cvsnt
in this ad-hoc way?

thanks!

Carl
