User A's sandbox now contains the correct entries file, which reflects the 
repository contents.

User B's sandbox has not been updated, so oddly enough it doesn't contain the 
new file.  To get the new file, you must update the sandbox, whether through SCC 
or directly using cvs commandline (or even WinCVS).

Try to update the sandbox using WinCVS outside of PB's control.  Make sure you 
checkout Read Only (which most programs assume means you aren't editing just 
this moment.  See what PB thinks of the checkout status of the files now.

No, the problem is that PB's use of SCC is bizarre.  Jalindi is not in any way 
responsible for PB judging that a file is checked out solely based on whether 
you updated the sandbox or not.
