Do you have a ~/.cvsrc file that specifies 'checkout -P'? The 'Existing 
Tags:' for Manual.tex doesn't include the 'v3_0_6' tag, so that file 
isn't a part of that branch/tag. If a directory is empty, and the '-P' 
option is used with 'cvs checkout' the empty directory will be pruned 
from your working directory. Since you didn't specify the '-P' option in 
your command, it could be specified in the ~/.cvsrc file.
