Broken repository? - symlink problem?

Hi.

Earlier today I removed and attempted to check out a clean working copy of a
project. 
Unfortunately, it seems I can't actually do this. I get the following error:

$ svn co file:///source/network

network/tags/20080304/hosts/records/root/service/sshd/run: broken symbolic
link to `../../../../../common/service/sshd/run'

I have no idea what could have caused this. I did nothing out of the
ordinary and received
no errors in previous commits. Any idea how I can fix this? The history
isn't really important,
I don't mind rescuing HEAD and creating a new repository if that becomes
necessary.

Any help would be appreciated.

I should have mentioned that this is version 1.4.6 (r28521) on
FreeBSD 6.3.

svn, version 1.4.6 (r28521)
   compiled Feb 21 2008, 13:33:17

Even more confusing:

$ svn proplist tags/20080304/hosts/records/root/service/sshd/run
svn: warning: 'tags/20080304/hosts/records/root/service/sshd/run' is not under version control

I'm stumped. I've never seen this or anything similar happen before.

What version of svn?  I thought this was fixed.

When I encountered a similar error the problem was that the
svn:needs-lock property was set on the link.

HTH,
