I did "svn ls" in all the folders in the path, could not find a .svn
folder checked in. I am the only user of the system / subversion, and
I would *never* create / try to commit a folder called .svn. I
understand its significance.

This makes sense. Thanks for the detailed explanation. I can see a
file named ChangeLog:
svn ls http://ajaygautam.homelinux.net/svn/peppercorn/phplist-2.10.8/ChangeLog

I removed the folder before check out. I tried checkout in /tmp too.
Same error...
svn: URL 'http://ajaygautam.homelinux.net/svn/peppercorn/phplist-2.10.8/ChangeLog.svn-base'
non-existent

Client is Mac OS X Binary distribution from openCollabNet version 1.5.5.
If you think of some other suggestions, please do pass them along.
