Same as Vincent, I didn't exactly know where the trouble lies...  
although I did find this nice explanation in a response to someone  
with a similar problem:

"The reason has *always* been because of a messed up wcprop
cache. It's becoming a FAQ at this point.
How it works: when you checkout a file, ra_dav stores a url cache
which uniquely identifies the created-rev/path pair. Later, when you
update the file, ra_dav asks mod_dav_svn for a binary diff against
that specific cached url."

And as one of the possible solutions, other than checking out anew:

"1. the immediate solution is to just cd into .svn/wcprops in the
    offending directory, and delete everything. The caches will be
    rebuilt as necessary."



Cheers

Andreas
