Another possibility is that somehow the directory is missing in the
repository, but somehow your working copy of the parent directory still
has "schnelleintrag" listed in its .svn/entries file. So 'svn up' is
trying to traverse into the child to send a "report" to the server. But
the child isn't under version control anymore.

The best way to de-confuse things is to show us a step-by-step
transcript of the procedure you use to bootstrap your work environment.
Show us how you do a checkout of your main repository, then show us how
you place unversioned stuff into it, and then show us how update is
failing. We need a long transcript. My suspicion is that there's a
subtle driver-error going on here, but I won't be able to point it out
until I see a transcript that starts from the very beginning.
