First, update to Subversion 1.4.5.
Then, try "svn up" instead of "svn up vendor/rails"
If that doesn't work, change the property. Don't put the
svn:externals property on the root project folder, rather put it on
the vendor directory and give it the value "rails http://
wherever.rails.lives.com/whatever/tags/i/like/". If you don't have a
vendor directory yet, "svn mkdir vendor" first.
