You need to restart the server after installing CVSNT for the first 
time.  The system services don't pick up changes in the path except at a 
reboot :(.

For each repository, there is an entry in the registry.  To rebuild them 
properly you can either restore that little piece of the registry or 
(much easier and more robust) recreate the base repositories with the 
control panel applet and then restore the repository files into them. 
Make sure that you don't translate CR -> CRLF (e.g. if you ZIPPED up the 
files and WinZIP thought it was from a UNIX machine, it might try to 
translate... don't let it).
