Ahh, that's the problem.  CVS doesn't 'keep' it's sticky tags when you
checkout new files, so any new directories created will be created as if
from the HEAD revision (ie; current).

You need to explicitly force the stable branch.

'cvs update -Pdr RELENG_2_1_0'

And you'll get all the good stuff. :)
