The permissions in the repository do not correspond to the permissions
of the file in the sandbox.
Permissions are handled via a record inside the rcs file.
So for any file in the repository the permissions should be
-r--r--r--   1 cvs      cvs
if you use RunAsUSer=cvs in /etc/cvsnt/PServer.

I can not repoduce this.
Are you sure no one else touched the file?
Some older windows client? Users working via samba share?
