did you use -P flag for cvs checkout?

       -P     Prune (remove) directories  that  are  empty  after
              being  updated,  on checkout, or update.  Normally,
              an empty directory (one that is void  of  revision-
              controlled  files)  is  left  alone.  Specifying -P
              will cause these directories to be silently removed
              from  your  checked-out  sources.   This  does  not
              remove the directory from the repository, only from
              your  checked  out  copy.  Note that this option is
              implied by the -r or -D  options  of  checkout  and
              export.
