'svn mv' == 'svn cp; svn rm'

So what's happening there is that you effectively ran these commands:

  $ svn cp tags/v1.0 trunk/v
 
  $ svn rm tags/v1.0

Now you try to commit, and the deletion of tags/v1.0 is failing,
because somebody changed it on the server.

You'll have to 'svn revert' your move, update, and try the move again.
