You say that you can use the client's account no problem, but you don't mean
his machine, just his login info,of course.  

It sounds as if his CVSROOT string is incorrect.  What did you all put into
the preferences section of WinCVS to connect him to your system?

That wouldn't stop him from manually SSHing into the system, but it would
certainly keep WinCVS from connecting.
