In my experience, such a checksum mismatch symptom indicates a network
problem, not a Subversion problem. The fact that everything works fine
from locally on the server seems to confirm this. Is there anything
between you and the server that may be mangling the network packets?
Check the archives for previous instances of other people asking similar
