Because you've asked it to log a file named "12/22/2001".

Only one '-d' per command.

Yes you can, you quote it as you have above.
The problem is that you've managed to pick the *one* common date format
that CVS (quite reasonably) doesn't like: mm/dd/yyyy. Try using any of
the formats listed in Cederqvist or Karl Fogel's book. For example:
cvs log -d "2001/12/20<2001/12/22"
