INDEX isn't being updated if you aren't cvsuping ports-all. Index is not updated with each port change. If you set this up with a shell script, you should also look into using portupgrade. It has a module called portsdb that will update your index files. They suggest you run "portsdb -uU" everytime you cvsup ports.
