Does a Three year TN Visa holder need to cross the boarder every year?

Dear Readers,
I am on TN visa for the last 4 years and last time in July 2009 I got three year TN visa.
I have been told by some federal officer (not related to immigration) that I have to exit the country every year and come back again even I have three year TN VISA. In fact July 2012 is my TN expiry date and I left US on August 2010 and came back in Sep 2010. At that time the officer did not say any thing.

Is there any new law/rule that we have to leave the country every year even we have three year TN visa. I might not be aware of that rule and no immigration officer explained to me about it.

Any thoughts on that?
