Then use the CVSROOT/precommand script and check if the command issued
is valid.

ALL <your check program> %u %c

will call the check program with two arguments:
%u will expand to the user name
%c will expand to the command name

If you find that %u is a user not allowed to remove files and %c is
"remove" then you can exit your program with a non-zero exit code and
the operation will fail.
You can also send a message to the user by writing to STDOUT from your
program, this will show up on the user screen.
