Let me see if I understand:

 - you have a working copy on a Samba network disk

 - the Samba server is FreeBSD 8.2

 - the Samba client is FreeBSD 9.0

On Linux I'd run "strace svn st -u" to find out which system call is
failing. Do you have strace installed? Perhaps truss can provide the
information?

It appears that your Samba setup doesn't support some POSIX sematics.
Perhaps mounting nobrl will help?
