You said "svn up fails". Does 'svn up' give an error message then? I
find it hard to believe that 'svn up' would say:

   svn: E195020: Cannot merge into mixed-revision working copy [X:Y];
try updating first"

So does 'svn up' really fail (i.e. gives an error)? If so, can you
please copy-paste its error message?

Or do you mean that 'svn up' succeeds, but it doesn't fix the problem
of the mixed-rev working copy?

If the latter, maybe your problem is similar to this report on
Stackoverflow (related to a file external, which apparently makes svn
see the working copy as mixed rev -- and the file external doesn't get
updated to the uniform revision):
