Christian,
Been through purgatory solving, most likely, the same or at least a very related problem. Being German, I'm likely to use umlauts in filenames, etc. :-}
I'm assuming that what you cite as " frmBestand_bersicht.frm" really reads "frmBestandÜbersicht.frm". In my case, the causes for the error message you're citing were as follows:
1. My builds of SVN/apr/apr-util/Apache (running on NetBSD) weren't linked against libiconv. This will cause all svn utilities (i.e. svn, svnlook, ..), which are being run server-side, to fail with this error message, *even if you've correctly set LC_CTYPE*!
LC_CTYPE in my case is set to "de_DE.ISO8859-1".
2. Even if your installation is linked against libiconv and LC_CTYPE has been correctly set for the shell your running them from, server-side utilities *still* will fail when called from an environment where LC_CTYPE is not defined. Example: I'm using WebSVN to
access our repositories. WebSVN uses a set of PHP-scripts which in turn call svnlook server-side, but the invocation environment of svnlook via WebSVN does not contain LC_CTYPE, causing svnlook to fail with that error when it hits the first filename with an umlaut.
So: Check if your installation (apr-util, in particular, I think) uses libiconv. If so, provide a proper definition of LC_CTYPE. If all this is as it should be, make sure that the environment of the process that calls svn clients also has a definition of LC_CTYPE.
