You've tried 'cleanup' on the working copy?

svn cleanup --help
cleanup: Recursively clean up the working copy, removing locks, resuming
unfinished operations, etc.
usage: cleanup [PATH...]

Valid options:
  --diff3-cmd arg          : use ARG as merge command
  --config-dir arg         : read user configuration files from directory ARG

HTH,
