Mike,

This is a cvs oddity/bug.  In cvs, directories aren't versioned objects, 
so you can't really remove them.  What you can do however, is use the 
'-P' (prune) switch when doing checkouts/updates to avoid grabbing empty 
directories.  To have cvs default to this behavior, place the following 
lines in your ~/.cvsrc file (creating it if necessary):

checkout -P
update -P
