It is not clear to me that a .cvsrc on the CVS server should be used at all, or especially when cvs's -f switch is used, as in this case. This behavior is unmentioned in the documentation, info or manpage, on the .cvsrc file. I will submit a bug report on such. Thanks for your nudge; it helped me find the problem.
