This sounds like he is using the wrong CVSROOT.  I'd guess Mike is using 
":pserver:anoncvs cvs freedesktop org:/cvs" instead of 
":pserver:anoncvs cvs freedesktop org:/cvs/gstreamer".

While you can access the source code with either root, the second is 
better, since it means you are using the same path names as the 
developers (so it is a lot easier to switch a working copy over to an 
read/write CVS root if you ever become a developer).
