Can't commit after deleting files from repository

I'm trying to delete some files from my repository. After "svn delete
<some file>", I get

D <some file>

as expected, but when I try to commit, I get

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: '<some file> is not under version control

What am I doing wrong? I've tried this several times, including a
fresh checkout, where the file I'm trying to delete is still there.
Using "svn status" does not show that there appears to be a problem
with the status of the file I'm trying to delete, such as deleted but
not committed.

Thanks!
