Do you have a virus scanner installed? Some of those are known to
interfere with Subversion...

Can you try the exact same on your Win98SE machine with the command line
client as well?

This indicates that TSVN does everything right. The Subversion API call
is successful.

You said there's a pause of about 3 seconds before the error message
appears. That's an indication that the file really _does_ exist but
Subversion can't access it because some other program (usually a stupid
virus scanner) has the file locked exclusively. Try deactivating your
virus scanner or at least configure it so that your working copy isn't
scanned (or at least the .svn folders).
