I've just uploaded a new version at
http://www.chezmarshall.freeserve.co.uk/elisp/vc-vss.el

this: 
     o fixes various bugs
     o has an initial buggy (?) implementation of vc-vss-dir-state.
     o A new variable vc-trust-mssccprj, setting that variable to t
       (the default) means that if the file mssccprj.scc does not
       exist then the directory is deemed not to be under source-safe
       control
     o Also documents that: If you use the editor setting to view
       files under vss, you will need to hand edit your ss.ini file
       inserting a line reading 
       Comment_Editor = 
       otherwise your editor will startup containing a file
            Enter a comment; then save and exit.
      whenever you check something out (or worse lock up emacs)!
