The default ACL mode is "compatible" which means all users have full 
permission by default.  You need to do one of the following:

-- Set the ACL mode to Normal (CVSROOT/config file)
-- Deny all to default
-- Deny specific rights to the user

Any one of those should achieve the results you are requesting.
