this is a known problem. current versions of svn use our internal diff
library, which doesn't have support for the various flags you used to be
able to pass to gnu diff via svn's -x option. if you want those
options, you can use the --diff-cmd option (i think that's the option, i
might be wrong, as i don't have an svn install on this machine) use gnu
diff instead of the built in diff library.
