It is because the directory itself has not been added. Do a 'cvs add' on the directory, and then cvs commit. However, CVS may have got confused now - sometimes it does. In this case, you may be able to sort it by making a separate check-out of the CVS tree, and adding the new directory there. As a last resort, you will need someone with write access to the repository itself to add the directory.
