[ale] OT, cvs question for the experts

I admit to being a bit of a novice with cvs.  I have created a cvs
repository on system a.  I have been working on a project doing
development on system b and when I finish I check in my work and go to
system c (user testing) and check out the changes.  All has been working
fine until I added a new directory to my project.  I did a cvs add of
the directory, a cvs add of the files in the directory and a cvs
commit.  cvs reported it had committed the files.  A cvs status on
system b shows that to be true.  But when I went over to system c to try
to check out the files, the only think that a cvs update finds is the
old stuff that was changed.  It doesn't update the new stuff.  I tried a
cvs co of the directory but it said:

 cvs co images
cvs server: cannot find module `images' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

I looked in the docs, but I don't see any other commands.  How to I
check out a newly added directory and its contents?

Both of these systems are running Linux.  On is RH the other Debian.  

cvs version
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11.1p1 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server)

(both systems)

Thanks,
Jim.
