Hi Glen,

I still cannot shake the feeling you have something going on with the
multiple working copies to which you alluded earlier. The only way this
makes sense is if you are competing with another working copy for the
file. This is consistent with the lock keeping this from occurring.

Alternatively, maybe something is screwed up with your working copy.
Have you tried "svn cleanup"? Have you tried this from a clean working
copy?
