Narrative:

On white water 3 departure, flying from cvg to msp. Approaching vhp, controller inquired if we were going to fly over vhp (current course was going to take us about 5 mi out of vhp). We replied that the next point on our FMS was bvt he asked if vhp was depicted on the white water 3 out of cvg. We said yes it was on the commercial chart. White water 3 dated XXX, but we checked our FMS database -- and it did not show vhp between carrf and bvt. On departure from cvg when cleared to join the white water 3 departure, I (captain and PNF) executed a direct intercept leg to decee with a 294 degree course intercept. No further changes to our FMS LNAV route was done. The controller stated that this had recently happened with several other air carrier X flts and requested that we check with company about this. Controller said no traffic conflict took place, but that this error had occurred previously and somewhat screwed up their sequencing to the next center sector. In-flight, using route ii, I loaded cvg direct msp white water 2 departure, cadiz transition. Once it came up without vhp between carrf and heavy transport, the next time vhp did show up between carff and bvt.
