FYI, if there are no files in that directory of the repository, cvs
will generally not create the directory on update/checkout.  Not sure
what's happening here, but you might just have to add a dummy file to
ensure it gets created.

That said, Boost tests should be able to be run from a read-only CVS
tree, so if you're creating files you probably ought to do it
elsewhere (like /tmp/...).
