Checked out file has wrong permissions, how to enable Write access on checkout?

[Erik Husby]

Somehow, one file in my project emerges from CVS with write access OFF. 
When I look in the repository, this file and several others have these 
permissions:

 -r--r--r--    1 mhusby   sequence    13990 Nov  2 00:49 mavenant.xml,v
 -r--r--r--    1 mhusby   sequence    38109 Nov  2 00:49 maven.xml,v

When I check the files out, the permissions are this:
 -rw-rw-r--    1 mhusby   sequence     3757 Nov  2 11:40 mavenant.xml
 -r--r--r--    1 mhusby   sequence     8491 Nov  2 11:40 maven.xml

This happens wether I checkout on our Linux system or my Windows 
machine. There are no editors or watchers registered on these files.

So the question is: What command do I use so that CVS will checkout 
maven.xml with write access turned on?

Using cvs 1.11.1p1 both machines.
