I think that 'vc-recompute-state is what you want, as it will actually
run "cvs update".

try something like the following (this currently doesn't work because
directory-files is also returning things like the CVS folder which vc-
recompute-state throws an error because it doesn't know how to handle
it):

(progn
  (let ((retval nil))
    (dolist (cur-file (directory-files dir-path t "^[^\.]") retval)
      (push  (vc-recompute-state cur-file) retval))))

hopefully that is close to what you're looking for :-)
