That's this bug:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2464
A possible workaround is available if you install Subversion via
MacPorts and use the +unicode_path variant. Note that this has some
tradeoffs which you should read about and understand before using
that variant.

What happens when you try?

Have you run "svnadmin verify" on your repository? What does it say?

Usually you would just set LANG to the correct value for your system.
For example, on my Mac, I set LANG=en_US.UTF-8. I would think you
would want that set for all programs; I don't see why it should be
Subversion-specific.
Note that I'm on Tiger. On Leopard, I believe you can have the
Terminal set LANG automatically for you. Look around in the
preferences and window settings.
