Update doesn't get new directories by default, you need to use the -d
option. (The reason is that CVS doesn't have any way to tell the
difference between a newly added directory and an old one that you
explicitly didn't checkout.) If you want that behavior all the time,
you can add it to your ~/.cvsrc file.
