It seems that you performed the check-out or update only on the files in 
the directory but not on the directory itself. So you should try the
following:

E:\
cd \sos
cvs update -r Version_2_2 version_2_2

This shouldn't affect files which are not already checked in; CVS will 
give a warning that there are unknown files:

? version_2_2/goo.h

but they won't be deleted. Afterwards you can add them:

cvs add version_2_2/goo.h

With best regards
Andreas
