No.  See the space after DONOHUE_USERS: ?  That marks the root of the mapped
drive.  The remainder of the line is the current default path on the mapped
drive.  In this case, K:\ coincides with DONOHUE_USERS:\ .

My interpretation is that 'cvs init' succeeded in creating loginfo (and the
chain of directories to contain it), but when it exec'ed ci, ci failed to
create loginfo,v from it.  This is why I suspected that the ',v' suffix might
be the issue.

I was able to 'cat > abcdefghijklmno.pqrstuvwxyz' and I got the filename that I
specified.  ls saw it just fine, and 'cat abcdefghijklmno.pqrstuvwxyz' showed
me the text that I had typed in.

I will look into setting up a debug version of ci.  I may be able to find some
other tools to have a look at what is going on.  Thanks again for your help!
