Thanks for the info,
I've read the posts on the subversion site, and have disabled all virus scans, as well as Tortoise's icon overlay process, however I still seem to get the error. The reason I'm posting back to subclipse is because although the actual error comes from subversion, I thought the cause of the error may actually come from either subclipse or eclipse.

When an update is done via subclipse, I believe the OperationManager creates another thread (WorkspaceRunnable?) to fire off resource change events for .svn directories. Subclipse has resource change listener that will handle these resource change events and update it's status cache (?). I'm assuming that this will load various files/resources to update it's cache. Since this is done asynchronously, the initial thread could perform another SVN operation, thus conflicting with the status cache reads.

Does this sound at all feasible?
