Actually, this means very little. There are differences in the way
cygwin and NT(native) deal with SMB shares. Please show:
ls -ld /g/xapp/users/uscpw084/cvsroot
ls -ld /g/xapp/users/uscpw084/cvsroot/CVSROOT
ls -ld /g/xapp/users/uscpw084/cvsroot/CVSROOT/

Oh, now hold on just a minute. So this isn't windows peer-to-peer file
sharing. Now, you've thrown SAMBA into the mix, which is ALSO different
from NT(native) SMB, w.r.t. file permissions.
It looks to me as if your problem isn't CVS, but a misunderstanding as
to how permissions on samba shares are dealt with from cygwin clients.
Please search the archives..."samba" "permissions"
