Other than using pserver/ssh vs. local, there must be some difference in 
configuration between the two machines. Are they using the same user ID? 
Check the contents of ~/.cvsrc (%home%\.cvsrc on Windows).

On the computer with the repository, try checking out using pserver 
mode. Do the dead files show up now?

On the remote computer, what does 'cvs status' show for one of the files 
that should not be there?
