[TSVN] Strange 'Add/Clean-up' Problem/Issue

From: Hughes, Trystan <Trystan.Hughes_at_assetco.com>

Sorry that the Subject Heading is a bit vague,
 
but my colleague has been having a strange problem with TSVN, and as i'm in charge of the SubVersion stuff, I might as well help him.
 
Anyway, my colleague has a local copy (checked-out) of a repository. Within this local copy/directory is a sub-folder called 'Desktop Modules', and within this sub-folder can be contained further folders that are each of the modules that can be created. Now, when a new folder has been created, my colleague used the 'Add' command to prepare the folder to be added to the repository, and then the 'Commit' command to finalise and add to the repository. The problem now is that all of a sudden the module folder that he added now contains and '!'/exclamation icon over the folder. Whenever we now try to do a 'Clean-up' command on the parent folder (DesktopModules) we get an error message saying that the 'Subversion has reported an error: 'FolderName' (which is the new folder we added) is not a working copy'. Now if we try the 'Add' command on this new folder again, SubVersion says that the 'Folder' has already been added. 'The 'Revert' function also brings up a similar errounous based message.
 
What exactly is the problem here? and what exactly does that symbol ('!') entail?
 
I hope I have clarified my point enough, if not, feel free to come back to me on what you think I need to elaborate more on.
 
Thanks
