I have the same problems at least on the cases without -r.
This doesn't match the description of "svn diff" in the book:

  http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.ref.svn.c.diff

Conversely, when blah has been added, but not committed,

  svn diff -rBASE blah

gives a diff instead of an error (indeed an error is expected because
blah_at_BASE doesn't exist, as this can been seen with "svn cat blah").
