I believe that error is misleading. Looking at the errors below, the
commit actually succeeded, but there was a failure post-commit (it wasn't
able to clean up the transaction file) so it errored out.

This here means that it already believes the paths exist in the
repository. Transaction '89-1' is the one representing the current
commit attempt, not the location of the duplicate in the repository...

Which is important to know right here.

Check out a separate working copy somewhere else and make sure it contains
every thing that you expect it to. Then trash your other working copy.
If you really want to keep it, you'll need to remove the paths that are
conflicting and run 'svn up'.
As to why this occurred, I've found that it generally means some other
tool on the system is holding the file open (Anti-virus, indexing tools,
etc). I suggest taking a look there first, and filter out your
repository from those tools, if at all possible.
