1) Your setup looks very custom.  I see SMB/CIFS in use, and you're
using a non-standard directory for the cvsup CVS data (the default is
/usr/sup).  You're either starting cvsup with some custom arguments or
your supfile *is* in fact modified.

2) Check permissions and ownership of all directories leading up to
/usr/home/moin/smbmount/code/SUPDB/sup/src-all.  Yes, check every single
one.

3) Ensure your umask is 022 before starting cvsup.  This could be a side
result of item #2.

4) I'm not sure why you're using cvsup on a 7.x box when csup comes with
the base system.

I would also try doing this as a last resort:

rm -fr /usr/home/moin/smbmount/code/SUPDB/sup/src-all
rm -fr /usr/src/*
csup -h <cvsupserver> -L 2 /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile

However, with regards to use of /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile
see my above comment; yours may be modified.
