You should update the client and the server to 1.6.

I sounds like you are running into tree conflicts during merges.
The behaviour you are seeing with 1.5 can be explained by
the fact that 1.5 behaves pretty much non-deterministic when
merging incompatible tree changes. Subversion 1.6 attempts to detect
a lot of such problems and flags conflicts in the target working
copy of the merge accordingly.

See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.tour.treeconflicts.html
and the files in the directory
http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/notes/tree-conflicts
(warning, some stuff in there is seriously out-dated!)
and also search the archives of the dev and users list for
"tree conflict". This should give you a lot of information.
