The refuse file doesn't go in "base" but in "base/sup" :-)
The manual page of cvsup is a bit cryptic, but does eventually make sense:
| SYNOPSIS
| cvsup [-1aDeEgksvzZ] [-A addr] [-b base] [-c collDir] [-d delLimit]
| ...
| -c collDir Specifies the subdirectory of base where the information
| about the collections is maintained. The default is sup.
| ...
| As many as three refuse files are examined for each supfile line. There
| can be a global refuse file named base/collDir/refuse which applies to
| all collections and releases. There can be a per-collection refuse file
| named base/collDir/collection/refuse ...
With the default base and collDir values of /usr and sup, the global refuse
file is /usr/sup/refuse, as you have already found out judging from the
other posts in the thread.
Just thought I'd explain *why* it is looked for in that place, too :)
