Working copy "not locked"

Working copy created under version 1.1.0-rc3 -- problem persists in 
version 1.1.1

Attempting to switch working copy to moved repository. The error says 
"Working copy 'Trunk/WEB-INF/classes/doit' not locked".

The classes/doit directory had been under svn control among other 
directories under "classes" and "classes" itself  but were svn 
delete'd, and committed.  Later, the classes directory with 2 text 
configuration files were added to the working copy directories, and 
committed.

The switch command did change the "source" directories (that are under 
source control). In any case, the classes/doit directory is not under 
source control, and using svn status shows "?" in the first column.

Final piece of information:

The original repository had been located on a Novell Network drive, and 
I finally noticed the warning that this was not supported and would 
corrupt the repository.  I moved the repository from the network drive 
to a local hard drive  -- this is the reason for attempting to svn 
switch.

Thanks
