There are two -d's - in fact there are two places for options

cvs <cvs options> <command> <entirely different options for command>

so:

cvs -d ... specifies a CVS access method, server, username, etc.

cvs update -d  specifies that you want CVS to create any new directories 
that might be present since the last checkout or update.

You can then have something like:

cvs -d :pserver:user at host:/cvsroot/project update -d

-P tells cvs update to remove empty directories.

I urge you to visit cvshome.org and read the CVS manual - the Cederqvist!
