Is that a typo or are you really running Mac OS X 10.4.1? The current
version is of 10.4 is 10.4.10 and you should definitely upgrade to it
if you have not already.

The latest version of Subversion is 1.4.5 and you should use that too
if possible.

The global ignores should work. Make sure you have "[miscellany]" on
a line somewhere above the global-ignores line. And make sure the
files are not already versioned. (svn:ignore and global-ignores
applies only to unversioned files.)
