If when you run the command svn status
shows something like this:
M .
A + your_new_directory
.. you could ran with --verbose
option to see more details. Now, the output may look like this:
M rev0 rev1 author .
A + - rev1 you your_new_directory
+ - rev1 you your_new_directory/your_file
You can see more status related stuff on this question.
So, probably your files are there, but the non-verbose status from svn isn't showing.
