cvs export -d /home/wwwroot -r HEAD www/www.mysite.com

The idea being that it isn't extracted into a subdirectory of
/home/wwwroot/www/www.mysite.com. But, for some reason it doesn't work.
This is the error returned;

protocol error:  is not absolute

I presumed this meant the path after -d, but that is absolute. Suggestions
gratefully received !

Thanks,

Tim
