You'll have to provide some more information if you want to help other
people help you :-).

What did you try?

- Did you check the permissions/ownership of the file
'flse/.svn/tmp/text-base/pgms.tar.bz2.svn-base' on the client that's
having the problem?

- What's the filesystem on the client where you're having the problem?
Is the working copy by any chance on a remote disk, mounted via NFS or
CIFS? If so, is it by any chance a shared working copy, with other
users or clients from other PC's accessing it as well?

- What's the exact OS on the client having the problem? Any specific
differences with the "other linux boxes" that don't have the problem?

- Did you look at the repository, to see if there is maybe a
"case-conflict" (two files with filenames only differing in case)?
What's the output of "svn ls $REPOS_URL/$SUBDIR/flse"?

- If all else fails, a workaround is to simply check out a new working
copy (and transfer your outstanding local modifications from the
broken working copy to the new one manually (or automatically, by
copying all files from the old to the new, but excluding .svn
directories)). That is: if the problem does not re-appear in your new
working copy ...
