Maybe the problem is related to the default "umask" for users? Anyway, I find using CVS via shared files very nasty to maintain. I recommend you set up a CVS pserver (either as daemon or via inetd), and force everyone to use the :pserver: protocol to checkin/checkout. That way, all the files in the CVS repository are then owned by the "cvs" user, and all file permission problems go away forever.
