Of course, from time to time, I forget to add it to the command line 
and the bot blows up.  :-)

I have no problem running CVS out of the buildbot on Windows -- is the 
SVN executable in your %PATH%?  That's all I had to do to get CVS to 
work (I'm on XP btw).  At some point during bringup I did run into the 
path length limitation so, even though it appeared to be set in the 
environment settings panel, it wasn't really.  Could that be your 
problem?
