whether the working directory is on AFS or not, but if the repository
is on AFS, then I get the error, no matter where the working directory

I would hazard a guess that subversion is doing an fflush() or fsync
or similar and the operation is not supported on AFS or at least not
on the OpenAFS implementation for Windows.
