Could you both please try the attached modified patch.

It removes the vc-expand-dirs call from vc-cvs-dir-status-files (its 
return value was unused anyway), and passes FILES unmodified to 
vc-cvs-command.

We can be fairly sure that DIR is default-directory, so passing it in 
explicitly is unnecessary. Whenever that ceases to be the case, we'll 
have to update other backends as well.
