[TSVN] Deletion of files corrupting local copy (SVN ver. 1.0.5, Tort Ver 1.0.8)

This may be a question that has been asked before, but I could not find an answer.

Assume there is a file "about.doc" in the working directory

Now I delete "about.doc", and commit the changes.
My friend Ryan has modified his working copy of "about.doc"
When Ryan runs "commit" he recieces a message saying "Commit failed ... file not found about.doc"
When Ryan runs "update" he recieves a message saying "Will not delete locally modified file about.doc"

So how do you handle this situation in all cases:
1) Keeping Ryan's modified about.doc
2) Deleting about.doc from Ryan's working directory

We have tried the following:

Ryan has tried deleting the file using Windows Explorer. The commit succeeded, but when he attempted to run "update" he got an error message saying "can't copy about.doc.svn-base to about.doc.svn-base.tmp the system cannot find the file specified"

So... we recreate the problem exactly as about.

Ryan tries the Tortise "Delete" function on his locally modified copy of "about.doc" which has been deleted from the repository by me.
Ryan then commits his change to the repositry (this works fine)
Ryan then does an"update" and gets the following message "can't copy about.doc.svn-base to about.doc.svn-base.tmp the system cannot find the file specified"

Thanks for any help you may have to offer.
