You don't say what directory you are in when you type the CTM command.

What I do (with 2.2-stable):

% cd /usr/CTM/src-2.2	# this is where my incoming src-2.2 CTM's go
% cat /usr/src/.ctm*	# see how current I am
% ls -lt | head		# see how far behind I am
% ctm -u -b /usr/src list_of_what's_missing

I do the same thing for ports.

Notice I use -b to set the "base" directory, where ctm will update. If that 
directory is empty and you start with an *Empty* then it should fill 
appropriately. Suggest you start with an empty base directory.
