It isn't... Check the settings on the client/server.

(There's an argument that $CVSROOT *should* be the physical path, but it 
isn't at the moment).

eg. in precommand:

ALL cmd.exe /c echo CVSROOT=$CVSROOT REAL_CVSROOT=$REAL_CVSROOT 
VIRTUAL_CVSROOT=$VIRTUAL_CVSROOT

prints:

CVSROOT=/repo REAL_CVSROOT=d:/repo VIRTUAL_CVSROOT=/repo /repo ls

(the end of the line is just what's added automatically for precommand).
