Zombie files prevent me from re-adding deleted file

Hello,

A user has deleted a file from our SVN repository and now it's
impossible for anybody to re-add this file again.

Each time we commit, we get this error below which seems to mean that
the file was not completely deleted and still exists as a kind of
zombie.

It happens for some other files that were also deleted by this
particular user.

Our repository is running on Windows 2003 using SVN 1.4.6 and fsfs.

I looked at the doc and the FAQ but did not find any admin command
that would help me to find and fix these zombies.

Thanks for any suggestions,

Gael
