As has been discussed here frequently, and as it says in the manual,
this means that you've either forgotten the -f on the pserver command
(which you haven't), or your inetd has set $HOME in the pserver's
environment (which it shouldn't).

That script doesn't do what you seem to think it does -- it does *NOT*
set $HOME for CVS, it just sets it for the subprocess that prints out
the environment (into /Network/Users/Matt/PserverHome/envlog.txt). If
you want to set $HOME for CVS, just set it normally:
HOME=/Network/Users/Matt/PserverHome
env > /Network/Users/Matt/PserverHome/envlog.txt
cvs -f --allow-root=/untitled/cvsroot pserver
I'd suggest simply unsetting $HOME instead:
unset HOME
cvs -f --allow-root=/untitled/cvsroot pserver

When you're as far ahead of the class as I am, it doesn't take much time.
