Problems with branching in CVS

I am having trouble with branching in CVS.
Can someone explain what I am doing wrong?

I checked out the source for program agc into
/src/esproc/agc/ directory.
I then created a branch tag 
      cvs tag -b root_of_daves_branch
within the working directory.

Then I checked the source out again:
cvs checkout -r root_of_daves_branch esproc/agc


After making changes to every file in the
source set, I am able to commit the source,
it goes in as a branch.

When I check out the branch, make changes to
it and then try to check it back into CVS,
I get the following nonsense:

cato:/users/721/berry/src% cvs commit esproc/agc
cvs commit: Examining esproc/agc
cvs commit: sticky tag `200.10.2.1' for file `esproc/agc/agc.c' is not a branch
cvs commit: sticky tag `200.10.2.1' for file `esproc/agc/agc.h' is not a branch
cvs commit: sticky tag `200.10.2.1' for file `esproc/agc/agc.nsd' is not a 
branch
cvs commit: sticky tag `200.10.2.1' for file `esproc/agc/makefile' is not a 
branch
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
cato:/users/721/berry/src% !

It sure looks like a branch to me!
Does anyone know what is going on here?
