The version that comes with TortoiseCVS is just the CVSNT client, not the 
server.
The error 'could not open default trigger library' is because the :local: 
protocol (which you should not use as you have already found) requires the 
server version (the trigger library is part of the server.) 

You can get the server from http://www.march-hare.com/cvspro/  although 
you'll have to pay for support as well. 
Either that or:
- use an old build with known bugs; 
- build yourself (you should be able to checkout the sources but I'm not 
entirely sure where the repository is) 
- use a plain vanilla CVS server with cygwin (given that you were already 
using CVSNT as a 'server' that may not work and it may take a long time 
before you notice the repository is screwed up) 
- Move away from cvs to something like subversion or mercurial.

Unless your time comes very cheap the simplest sollution is pay for the 
license. We switched to subversion, but we had a couple of reasons for 
that.
