The ,v file is an RCS file - it is not a valid comparison to attempt to 
compare a checked out file to one, as they will always be different.

The only thing I can think of that could fool cvs diff is if the 
timestamps are identical on both files - something that sometimes 
happens with network shares (one of the reasons they're unsupported).
