You might wanna upgrade your SVN version to the latest 1.8 build (which
is 1.8.16 at the time of writing this).
There are multiple client fixes impacting the handling of externals. For
instance 1.8.13:
"better error message if an external is shadowed (r1655712, r1655738)"

While I'm not sure whether that's helping in your case, I take it that
chances are not that bad. .-)
