During the switch subversion went to delete the directory that didn't
exist on the new location. When it does this, it only deletes files
that are under revision control and unmodified. If there's any
unversioned files or a locally modified file in the directory it wants
to delete, it gives this error.
All you have to do is make sure you don't need any of those files, and
if not then delete the directory. After that run the cleanup and it
should procede fine.
