Does your client machine have D: mapped as a CDROM drive?

If so, try putting a CD in the drive :).

What seems to happens to us (we have our repository on
D:/cvs also) are some cvs client operations form paths to
repository files and try to open them, on the client side.

On my work machine I moved the CD to E:, leaving D:
unmapped.

Converting the server to use the repository prefix will fix these
messages too.
