The FAQ is correct (although incomplete), because it just shows you how to
import a file "myfile" and a directory "mydir" but it does not attempt to
import any files inside the directory "mydir" as you want. In your case
the correct sequence of commands would have been

cvs add dir
cvs add dir/*
cvs ci dir/*

I will extend the FAQ to cover this case. Thanks for your feedback.
