Exactly. You should select "save password" though, because then it
won't bug you everytime you perform a CVS operation.

Hmm.. this is kind of bad user interface design I think, we should
make those fields "greyed out" if it's a local repository probably..
I'll file a bug on it.

SandWeb maintains a SandWeb user home directory, by default it
is /usr/local/share/sandweb/users (from the output below, you'll
see it's checking out to "/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/stevef/Albury
Computers", where "Albury Computers" is the selected repository and
everything before it is your SandWeb home directory).

Huh.. it's not escaping the space in "Albury Computers". 

Hey, can try this :

--
go to repository menu
delete the "Albury Computers" entry (don't worry, this is just a SandWeb
      setting, it won't delete the real repo :))
create a new repo, but don't put a space in the name
try to checkout dataset through the sandbox menu
--

Because it's not escaping that space, it's trying to "cd" to 
"/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/stevef/Albury", which doesn't exist
( it's "/usr/local/share/sandweb/users/stevef/Albury Computers" ).

Technically this is a SandWeb bug, if this fixes your problem then
I'll fix it in SandWeb...
