man cvs, search for attic (/Attic):

              The files are not actually removed until you  apply
              your changes to the repository with commit; at that
              point, the corresponding RCS files  in  the  source
              repository  are  moved  into  the `Attic' directory
              (also within the source repository).

and

       MODULE/Attic
              Directory for removed source files.

There was another entry too.

Did you mark your images as binary? Looks like -kb. This tells cvs to not
try doing diffs. Very important for images, tarballs, etc.

ciao,
