Still it comes up.  Where is this information coming from?
Where does cvs keep its list of what it in the directory?

Update message:
    cvs update: cannot open directory
    /usr/local/cvsroot/209/home/reader/t/var/proc: No such file or
    directory

Sounds like your working directory still contains references to the old directory. Did you commit your changes after you did the 'cvs remove' and before you deleted the directory from $CVSROOT?

Anyway, if you don't have any uncommitted changes in your working directory, why not delete it entirely and check out a fresh copy from the repository? That should ensure that you don't have any orphaned references to the deleted directory...
