Never mind.

I solved it by creating the directory in question and adding to the 
repository.

I also had some other 'unknown' directories as well and it seems that 
the CVS/Entries file had these directories, but not the repository. 
Strange? Deleting the entries in CVS/Entries for these directories 
circumvented the need to create them.
