This is what I've tried:

svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad Training"
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training"
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%20Training
svn rm http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training
svn rm "http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad\ Training"

and I keep getting:

svn: URL 'http://subversion/src/Repo/Grad%2520Training' does not exist
svn: Your commit message was left in a temporary file:
svn: 'svn-commit.9.tmp'

It seems like it's first escaping the space, making it %20 and then it's
escaping this again to make it %2520. ('%' = '%25' URL encoded).

Cheers
