File externals to another repository were never intended to be
supported (by the SVN command-line tools and library). The fact that
they worked in 1.6.x and up to some version of 1.7 was an accident.
See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.7/svn.advanced.externals.html
which says specifically "A file external's URL must always be in the
same repository as the URL that the file external will be inserted
into".
I ran into this same problem when upgrading a 1.6.x client to a 1.7.7
client. The SVN mailing list basically told me I was out of luck. We
modified our externals, makefiles, project files, etc. to pull in full
directories.
