This doesn't sound like the initial checkout was made by the
1.6-branch of Subversion, but would mean that Jenkins wouldn't be able
to update or do anything with the working copy at all. Check the
version of your Subversion plugin and if updates to the working copy
gets applied.

At least some client created a more current working copy than which is
needed by your commit which results in the error. The easiest way is
to upgrade your Subversion client in Jenkins and use proper 1.7
working copies if Jenkins is the only one who need to access those. Is
use some 1.7 working copies for some month now without any problems.

The version of the clients an server don't matter, the problem is only
that you need to access the working copies with the same version and
it's preferable to let Jenkins be the only one doing whatever in his
working copies.

As you working copy already seems to be in version 1.7 forma,t it
should be enough to update your plugin and configure Jenkins to use
1.7 format.
