Does this error mean a broken client or a broken server?

The strange thing is that both MacosX, Solaris and Windows clients can
update the tree from the Solaris v1.4.0 server fine, but a v1.1.4
(RHEL4) Linux client threw this error - and then carried on throwing
this error even after subversion was upgraded from v1.1.4 to v1.4.2 on
the Linux box.

I am trying to figure out what is so special about the Linux box that it
throws this error, but none of the others do.
