possible issue with status command?

Hi, I'm currently trying to leveredge some of the javacvs lib at a 
client site.   Here is the problem im seeing:

1) I have checked out the module "test" from the cvs server onto my 
windows 2000 box.

2) I have created a new directory "foo" under "test".

3) I have created a new java file bar.java under foo

4) Currently my directory structure looks like this:

<CVS DIR>
|
+--test/
    +
    |---foo/
    |   +
    |   |---bar.java
    +
    |---CVS/


5) If  im in the working dir test/ and I issue cvs status,
I get the following output:
? foo

however, if I use the StatausCommand, nothing prints out (using the 
BasicListener)Is this a bug or a feature?  (Or am I missing something).

Please let me know if you need any additional info

thx
