problem creating tag on branch where HEAD has deleted directory

I'm in a jam while trying to use the 'cvs tag' command on a branch which contains a directory now deleted in the HEAD branch.

My output looks like this:
address@hidden contentcontroller]$ cvs tag -Ff R3-1
cvs tag: failed to create lock directory for `/usr/local/cvs/wrycanCode/wrycan/contentcontroller/src/java/com/wrycan/contentcontroller/cvsclient' (/usr/local/cvs/wrycanCode/wrycan/contentcontroller/src/java/com/wrycan/contentcontroller/cvsclient/#cvs.lock): No such file or directory
cvs tag: failed to obtain dir lock in repository `/usr/local/cvs/wrycanCode/wrycan/contentcontroller/src/java/com/wrycan/contentcontroller/cvsclient'
cvs [tag aborted]: read lock failed - giving up

Any ideas how I can get around this?  The 'cvsclient' directory is removed from HEAD but still exists in my branch.
