Thanks for the clarification. It seems to be getting close. :-)

I'm still learning the Eclipse SDK and the Subclipse/JavaHL api, but is
it possible in such a case, to fallback to use SVNClient to retrieve
knowledge of those files that are represented as unknown?

Thank you. That would be very much appreciated. As I said before, it
seems like it's possible to get it to a much more useable state very
soon. The big stickler for me is that the tree view in the Sychronize
repository doesn't refresh, which seems like they would be benefited
from the changes you're implementing.

That makes much more sense.
Thanks for the information,
