I will see if I can reproduce the problem with a newer server version.
It seems to me that the 1.7.x client does something that the 1.6.x does not - since updating svn:externals works just fine using a 1.6.x client ..?

W160016 is the server-side error SVN_ERR_FS_NOT_DIRECTORY so it looks as
if the server might be the problem.  I don't have a 1.1.4 server to try.
If you provide a complete reproduction recipe it would allow you to try
a newer server and allow other people to try as well.
