| Stephen,
I am pretty sure you are running into a web farm scenario. To begin with, you and the other develop, even using the different machines (each has commerce server installed), both point to the same SQL server as
admin database, correct?
In that case, it is a deployment of one commerce Admin DB server and two commerce servers (kind of like two application server instances sharing the same machine.)
Now, a site (let's call it retail2002) unpuped from the other develop's machine can also be seen in your machine's commerce server manager. When you did the pup, I guess you didn't choose a different
commerce site name. And that's so called web farm -- from your machine a new commerce app for that site is created.
One thing to check, open your commerce server manager, choose retail2002 site, open the applications, extend the retail2002 application, you should be able to see two nodes under that (meaning that two
instances of the commerce app exist). Now, open retail2002 application's property page (not the site's property page). check the "nonsecure host name" field, by default, it will be the first web server machine (the
other develop's). That's why you always are being redirect to that machine.
The solution? If you are intended to deploy a web farm, the best practice is to change nonsecure host name to a host which can access two machines and decide the traffic distribution. (for example, a load
balancer). If you do not want a web farm, make sure when you unpup the site, choose a different commerce site name (in fact, if you choose the same name, a warning dialog should pop up for your confirmation.).
Or from the beginining, use a different SQL server to deploy your commerce admin DB.
You can get more related information by searching commerce server documentation using keyword "web farm".

Could it be that both of you (the developers) are using
your machines only for web site development while sharing
the same Commerce Server backend ? If this is the case
and your server is not registered in the site database at
the backend then something like what you describe might
happen.
