What version(s) of CVS are you running?  (Type "cvs version" on each
machine in the working directory where you did the tag.)  There was a
bug in some older versions of CVS where the RCS files were not locked
correctly during tag operations, which could cause exactly that problem.
I strongly suggest upgrading to 1.11.4.
