I sympathize with how frustrating this must be. But, it might help if
we knew some basic stuff, such as the version(s) of svn client and
server, the operating systems on which everything is running, whether
virus-scanning software is also running, when in your workcycle the
errors typically start appearing, etc. Details take time, but they
are the main way answers get found.
See http://subversion.tigris.org/bugs.html for more about how to
report bugs / ask questions.
Good luck,
