You can (and probably should if in doubt) always make sure you know which 
one it is :)

Any decent GUI should show you the cvsnt commands it uses in a log window 
of some sorts (WinCvs and Tortoise do this). Then you can take the cvsnt 
manual and make sure the commands should do what you want them to do. If 
still in doubt, you can then try to re-create your problems using the 
commands from the GUI log (or simplified versions of them) at the command 
line.

Could it be that you have a sticky tag on the file? That would have this 
result.

This could be the result of settings on the server and/or command options 
at the client.

AFAIK it shouldn't be. Could you try to condense this in a command line 
session that shows all relevant things and paste the whole session here?
