diff with --diff-cmd errors out

I get an error when trying to do the following:

soldev57.ZCURR <148> svn diff --diff-cmd /usr/bin/diff -x "-C 1"
ReleaseFileList
 
Index: ReleaseFileList
===================================================================
/usr/bin/diff: illegal option -- L
usage: diff [-bitw] [-c | -e | -f | -h | -n] file1 file2
       diff [-bitw] [-C number] file1 file2
       diff [-bitw] [-D string] file1 file2
       diff [-bitw] [-c | -e | -f | -h | -n] [-l] [-r] [-s] [-S name]
directory1 directory2
svn: '/usr/bin/diff' returned 2

I personally prefer context diffs and tried to do what the manual
suggests, but as you can see from the above, it appears that svn is
passing a -L option to diff and it is falling over because of it. Any way
to fix that?

Thanks.
