Hi Jan,

which version of Subversion are you using?
Which client are you using (command line, tortoisesvn, ...)?
How does the svn client access the repository (http://, svn://, ...)?

I'm not entirely sure but it sounds you're hitting a problem
similar to the one described in these issues:
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3667
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=3660
Are you perhaps running a server older than 1.6.13, which wouldn't
have the fix made for issue #3667?
