By doing "cvs -t update" on each system I figured out the differences.  It was a lack of "export CVS_RSH=ssh" on the work machine.  Fixed now:  Added to my BASH .profile.

Hmmm.  Means your work machine's CVS is compiled funny.  Nobody uses rsh 
anymore, and I think most systems compile CVS to use ssh by default.  What 
system do you use at work?

Also, looking at the cvs source, if you use ":extssh:" instead of ":ext:" with
a CVS build that has rsh enabled by default, it'll use ssh (or the contents
of the CVS_SSH variable if set) rather than looking at the CVS_RSH variable.

>From the "NEWS" file in the CVS source:

* The :extssh: method will use $CVS_SSH if set, or fall back on "ssh"
  by default (but may be explicitly set using the --with-ssh flag to
  configure).

(the ChangeLog shows this to have been added in 2008)
