What access method is he using? Pserver? Ntserver? Ssh (preferable)? Remote
disk mounts (God forbid!)?

I use CVS in this configuration all the time (CVS over a VPN to a pserver (I
know!) inside the company firewall), and it all works quite transparently.
CVS doesn't care about the actual implementation of the connection, so VPNs
should have absolutely no effect whatsoever.

I suspect something else is wrong in your user's setup, and you will only
know what it is when you inspect that user's machine..
