update not getting empty directories |

I have a problem where a repository on a lan shared disk (both via nfs and
samba) sometimes checkouts and updates ignore directories that only contain
other directories, even if those sub-directories contain source files.
so if $CVSROOT/foo only has a directory called bar in it $CVSROOT/foo/bar
If I do a cvs update, I will not get foo or bar. I also get this if foo is
completely empty. I know that cvs treats directories differently than files
but I don't really get the use mode here. Also, some clients handle this
differently. For example, on a redhat 8.0 workstation, I have this problem
and I cannot get foo if it is empty. However, on a solaris machine cvs
update will grab the empty directory.
Is there any way to make all clients always check out everything even if the
directories are empty??
On solaris we are using cvs version 1.11 and on linux we are using cvs
version 1.11.2
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
