SVN shows error "User does not own lock on path" 

Hello,

I have a problem when I try to rename a folder ".../node_" to ".../node".
The full folder structure looks like this:
.../node_/
    Testsuite.cpp
    Testsuite.hpp
.../node_/make/
    Subproj.mk
All files got the svn:needs-lock property set.

The folder "node_" was previously named "node" and now I want to rename it back again.
The strange thing is that SVN tells me that another user has a lock on 
".../node/make/Subproj.mk" (Noticed the path name? It's "node"!)
But I can't find a lock on this file.  I already tried "svnadmin rmlocks" on that path
but SVN returned "...there is no lock on...".

Any ideas?


Regards

Jan

Hi Stefan,

we are running SVN 1.6.17. The clients are predominantly Tortoise clients 1.6.16.
All clients access the server via http://.

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?
