This is on an NFS share, right?  That is most likely fixed by running
NFSv4, or by making sure rpc.lockd and rpc.statd run on both server and
client.

It looks like Subversion needs file locking to work in a certain way,
otherwise it will give these obscure messages.  Maybe it is useful to
report it to the Subversion guys...  (and hopefully not get the answer
"don't do that" back :)
