That tag isn't a branch.
Are you sure you had the '-b' flag on the tag/rtag command?
If so, try this:
(warning, untested)
cvs update -r BRANCH_8_1
cvs tag -f -b BRANCH_8_1 # If this doesn't work, then delete the tag first
cvs tag BASE-BRANCH_8_1 # don't forget to tag the base of every branch.
OR:
cvs update -r BRANCH_8_1
cvs tag -b REAL_BRANCH_8_1 # Make this the name of the branch, the other
# is the name of the base.
