Unable to checkout/add hidden files to repo

Hello,

I'm having a strange problem and because it has to do with hidden files I'm
having a real hard time finding any information about it. everything
is usually about the .svn folders.

Essentially my repository wont let me check out or commit any hidden files.
(.htaccess)

When i checkout a folder with a hidden file already in it, the hidden files
are not downloaded in my working copy.

When i do an 'svn ls' the hidden files are shown in the list of files and
they also appear in websvn.

When i create a new hidden file and try to svn add and commit it i get an
error like the following:

"svn:
'/svn/repo/!svn/wrk/3bc21418-b253-41a7-8d7c-dd2db27c6e5b/path/path/.hidden'
path not found"

I've never had this issue and i cant find any information on it. This repo
has been running with no issues for years now and no changes have been made
to it configuration as far as i can tell.

The server is running debian lenny with svn 1.5.1

Any help would really be appreciated

Thanks,
