Well this probably mean that you installed the CVS-version in the main
installation tree of miktex - which is not a good idea: The update
manager could overwrite your carefully installed package. It is much
better to put it in a local tree and add this tree so that is searched
before the main tree.

In any case - as the documentation points out
(http://docs.miktex.org/2.8/manual/initexmf.html) - the fndb of the main
tree is only updated if you use the admin version of the tool:

"By default, the utility runs in user mode. You can turn on
administrative mode with the --admin option. For example, if you want
to update the system-wide file name database, you invoke the utility
as follows: initexmf --admin --update-fndb"
