Subject: svn del, not committed, then rm by mistake

Hi SVN Use Gurus,

I've done something dumb and can't get unstuck. Can anyone help?

I created a directory and a few files within it. Then I svn add'd it.
Then I decided I didn't need it, so I svn del'd it. Then, leaving the
project for a while, coming back to it later, I \rm -rf dirname'd it
before I committed that add.

Now when I try to commit I get...

svn: Working copy 'blah' locked
svn: run 'svn cleanup' to remove locks

But when I try to clean up I get...

svn: 'filename' is not a working copy directory.

Any pointers on how to de-queue an add and make the repository stop
looking to have that directory and its content committed?

much thanks
