I don't see why it would make a difference which Windows machine
you're on...

I don't understand either. What error message did RapidSVN give you?

Well so long as it solved, that's good!

You may want to now install a pre-commit hook to prevent the addition
of any file whose name conflicts with an existing file in case, so
that you don't run into this problem again. There's a script called
check-case-insensitive.pl provided in the contrib/hook-scripts
directory of the Subversion tarball which can do this for you.

You may also want to read this related FAQ item:

Oh, it's not difficult to cause this problem, regardless what OS
you're running on. Here's one reproduction recipe from my Mac, for
example:

$ svnadmin create repo
$ touch file
$ svn import file file://`pwd`/repo/foo -m ""
Adding file

Committed revision 1.
$ svn import file file://`pwd`/repo/FOO -m ""
Adding file

Committed revision 2.
$ svn co file://`pwd`/repo wc
A wc/FOO
A wc/foo
svn: In directory 'wc'
svn: Can't copy 'wc/.svn/tmp/text-base/foo.svn-base' to 'wc/.svn/tmp/
foo.tmp.tmp': Unknown error: 0
$
