That would be my guess - there is no way, during import, to tell CVS
"this file is NOT present".

cvs checkout -R HEAD server_test_module
  will checkout HEAD (module name!) server_test_module *R*ecursively.
  In fact, I get this:

cvs server: cannot find module `HEAD' - ignored
cvs [checkout aborted]: cannot expand modules

cvs checkout -r HEAD server_test_module
  will checkout HEAD *r*evision of module server_test_module.

Note difference in case!

When you do import, you specify vendortag, no?  Why don't you checkout
with that?  cvs checkout -r vendortag42 server_test_module
