if its removed from router.db, it should be cvs deleted and the file
will be removed from the local "checkout" and moved in the repository
from ~ /var/rancid/CVS/group/configs/hostname,v to 
/var/rancid/CVS/group/configs/Attic/hostname,v

i suspect you're confusing the repository and the local "checkout" or
youre using some web interface that isnt showing the attic.
