CVS update doesn't create or delete directories by default; you need
to specify some options:

  cvs up -dP

will delete local copies of any deleted directories at the repository
(-P) and create any directories newly created at the repository (-d).  
You can make this default behaviour by adding this line to ~/.cvsrc:

   update -dP

(trim leading whitespace).
