Externals problem

Hi

I have a strange problem with externals. See the below results from my
command line. I added the externals using tortoise (but then edited them
using propedit commandline when they started showing this error). I'm
using svn 1.6.6, and yes, ProjectB/Sub1 does exist and revision 144 is
HEAD. The folder I'm exporting contains nothing but a svn:externals
property - ie no files.

Does anyone have any ideas what's going wrong here?

As a little side-issue, I'd like to export all the files into a single
directory (ie with no subdirs). This seems to work if I use --force, but
I have had issues with this, however I think the issues are more to do
with setting the svn:externals property rather than the export. The
problem that triggered this investigation was when I exported several
directories to a single folder, it would fetch the last external
repeatedly (ie, looking at the externals property below, it would fetch
ProjectB/Sub1 3 times). Does anyone have any ideas about that too?

Thanks,
Andy
