cvs branching problem

G'day,

We've just run up against a problem with a cvs branch. It appears as though when creating the branch, the files go half AWOL.

We created the branch on all of the selected files in a directory:
cvs tag -b BRANCHNAME file1.doc test.cpp ...

We update the working copy of the directory:
cvs update -r BRANCHNAME

At this point if we attempt to do any operations on the branched files, it is as though they are not in repository. eg.
after modifying test.cpp:

cvs commit test.cpp
cvs [commit aborted]: reading from server: Invalid argument

cvs update test.cpp
cvs server: conflict: test.cpp is modified but no longer in the repository
C test.cpp

However, if I checkout a new copy:
cvs checkout -P -r BRANCHNAME -d testdir-BRANCH module/subdir

all the branched files are there.

We have had no troubles like this with branching in the past.

Is there anything I'm missing?

Thanks
