Sounds like you're trying to use the same client on both
machines. The state of the files is tracked by client,
so Perforce knows you have those files checked out and
won't overwrite them. (It doesn't know you've switched
machines and/or filesystems.) Solution is to create a
second client for machine B, using the first client as
a template.
