Not recognizing binary file when adding gif file.

I have the following directory structure:

A/B/C

and A/C is a soft link to A/B/C

With a gif file in A/B/C (such as A/B/C/d.gif and also viewable as A/C/d.gif )
when I do

svn add A/C/d.gif
I get

svn: 'C' is not a working copy

but the file is added as shown in the A/B/C/.svn/entries file.

doing a svn propget svn:mime-type A/B/C/d.gif
or svn propget svn:mime-type A/C/d.gif
returns nothing.

If instead I add the file as follows
svn add A/B/C/d.gif
i.e. not going through the soft link.

I get

A (bin) A/B/C/d.gif

and svn propget returns

application/octet-stream

My environment is

Gentoo 2005.0

svn, version 1.1.3 (r12730)
