It sounds like the file is being added on a branch. CVS will put archives for new branch files into the Attic. Is this what's happening in your situation? Also, I think prevention of "cvs rm" is a bad idea since "removing" files is one of the tasks of a developer. It would be better if you could prevent direct access to the repo (eg via SSH).
