   You should be using "cvs update -Pd".

   Wrong. It is checking for them in the current directory. If you check out
another copy someplace, I think you'll find that the cvs update *does* work as
expected and that the real problem is your checked out copy has some .# state
that is missing. How it got rm'd I can only guess.

   Wrong.
