It is best to just look at what is happening in the SVN Console as
this sort of error is coming out of SVN itself. Until the 1.5 release
comes out, SVN is very limited in what it can do for refactoring.
This is because it has limitations on what it will support for
copy/move. For example, the most common problem that people run into
is that you cannot move something twice without commiting. I believe
you cannot even rename a folder, and then rename classes inside it.

We try to apply workarounds where we can but cannot do all situations.

Fortunately, this should all get a lot better when we can move to SVN
1.5 as most (if not all) of these client limitations have been removed
from SVN.
