This has to do with Bash interpreting wild cards and not CVS.  Since
'copy*' doesn't resolve to an existing file, bash passes the literal to
CVS and cvs doesn't know anything about any files named 'copy*'.

A work around for this is to use:

    $bash: cvs rm -f copy*

instead of:

    $bash: rm copy*
    $bash: cvs remove copy*
