We let APR do our renaming for us, so if APR's rename semantics are
different on Netware than on other systems, that could be an APR bug.
The Windows implementation of apr_file_rename does make sure that the
target file is replaced (either by using MoveFileEx, or by explicitly
deleting the target on Win9x which doesn't have that function). We fixed
this in APR specifically because Subversion relies on atomic renames,
and we had similar problems on Windows before the fix. Unfortunately,
you seem to be the first person to try SVN on Netware; so, you'll have
to prod the APR folks to fix the Netware implementation of
apr_file_rename...
