That is pretty normal if the native library is not available. See this:

It sounds like a bug in SVNKit. I'd start by getting the latest
version from their update site. It appears to be 1.2.0.4949. Then
I'd report it to support_at_svnkit.com.

Of course you can also look at the Wiki I linked to for help on
getting JavaHL working.
