You aren't by any chance using multiple access methods?

Check the permissions of the files in the db catalog of the repository.
All should be read- and writable by everyone who needs to read or write
to the repository.

And if you're worried about data consistency (which you shouldn't be as
consistency is perhaps the number one priority of the subversion devs)
make sure to backup after every commit. It's quite easy to setup with a
post-commit hook.
