What does uname -a report on your system.  If it's something like:

SunOS shire 5.11 snv_111b i86pc i386 i86pc Solaris

in particular the snv_111b part, then you're precisely where you're
expected to be.  The /dev repository is 'frozen' at build 111b in
preparation for being pushed to /release when 2009.06 is finally
shipped.  So until that happens, there won't be any later builds pushed
to /dev.

Cheers,
