move a file one directory up: Entry already exists error

Hello all,

I want to move a file one directory up in my working copy:

C:\temp\svn\trunk\schildbach>svn move build.xml ..
svn: Entry already exists
svn: 'build.xml' already exists and is in the way.

Here are listings of source and destination directories:

C:\temp\svn\trunk\schildbach>dir
15.11.2003 15:56 <DIR> .
15.11.2003 15:56 <DIR> ..
15.11.2003 15:56 31 .cvsignore
15.11.2003 15:56 1.829 build.xml
15.11.2003 15:56 <DIR> src

C:\temp\svn\trunk\schildbach>dir ..
15.11.2003 15:56 <DIR> .
15.11.2003 15:56 <DIR> ..
15.11.2003 15:56 <DIR> schildbach

I also tried

C:\temp\svn\trunk\schildbach>svn move build.xml ../build.xml
svn: Trying to use an unsupported feature
svn: cannot move path 'build.xml' into itself

C:\temp\svn\trunk\schildbach>svn move build.xml ..\build.xml
svn: Trying to use an unsupported feature
svn: cannot move path 'build.xml' into itself

I am using svn 0.32.1 on my Win32 client, svn 0.32.1 on my Debian server.

What am I doing wrong?

Regards,

Andreas
