FYI, the server doesn't use neon. Neon or Serf is only used on the client.
I'm guessing you're trying to say the server is using http.

Can you possibly come up with a reproduction recipe that doesn't require access
to your repo (unless of course your repo is publicly accessible)?

The errors you're getting are coming from the run_file_install() step of the
workqueue processor. It's rather hard to understand what's going just from the
error messages. Based on what you're saying it seems like the temp file we're
trying to move into place doesn't exist. Since looking at the code we try to
install the file, and then trap a ENOENT error from the rename call. When the
rename call fails with ENOENT we try to create the destination directory.
Which fails and thus you see the errors.

Right above the code generating the error it creates and writes the temp file.
 So I would expect to be seeing an error message from that if the file isn't
being created.

One question I do have is have you done anything unusual with how your file
system is setup? The .svn/tmp directory needs to be on the same file system as
the rest of the working copy since we're doing atomic renames to put files into
place.

So same machine, same working copy doesn't work over the VPN but does without a
VPN? Is the working copy perhaps on a network filesystem?

I think the best thing to do is try to create a minimal reproduction recipe.
Start with create a new repo, adding files/directories needed. Try with
ra_local (file://) rather than http first. If you can't duplicate it with
ra_local then try doing it over http.
