Bob,
I ran into a similar problem when I installed the Subversion 1.5 client.
First, check your installation directory very closely. I found that
different Subversion 1.5 installers and/or .zip files put the binary
files in different places (e.g. in ../bin or NOT). I ended up with two
sets of binary files in different locations. The various command shells
that I was using (cmd.exe and Korn shell) were looking in different
places for the binaries, so I'd get a different client using the <exec>
command vs. executing directly from the command line.
If you use TortiseSVN and upgrade to the latest version: TortiseSVN
has IT'S OWN copy of Subversion 1.5, so Subversion commands that worked
in TortiseSVN behave differently from the command line version.
I'd suggest to check you installs first and see what that reveals.

I guess I should have been more specific here, I am using the exec tag:
<exec program="svn" workingdir="${SourceControl.GetOf}"
verbose="${SVN.Debug}">
<arg line="cleanup" />
</exec>
<exec program="svn" workingdir="${SourceControl.GetOf}"
verbose="${SVN.Debug}">
<arg line="update" />
<arg line="--non-interactive" />
</exec>
These are actually CI Factory scripts. The problem started occurring
after I upgraded to svn 1.5. Above this in the script it adds c:\Program
Files\subversion to the path which is echoed below in the log snippet I
included.
Thanks,
BOb

Bob,
I don't know if this is the answer you are looking forward. I tried may
time to get the <svn> Nant command to work reliably, but had never
ending problems with errors similar to yours, and mostly, conflicts
between the various Uri and path parameters. Ultimately I gave up and
have recast all of my Subversion commands using the <exec> directive. I
know that other users of Nant have had similar frustrations and done the
same with better success.
An example <exec> command for Subversion:
<echo file="messagefile.txt">Incremented version.xml to:
${newVersion}</echo>
<exec program="svn.exe" verbose="true" if="${svnDryRun == 'false'}" >
<arg line="commit --file messagefile.txt --username ${svnUsername}
--password ${svnPassword} version.xml" />
</exec>
<delete file="messagefile.txt" />
Might be worth trying in your case.

Any ideas why this would happen?
[echo]
C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOWS;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Progra~1\Subv
ersion
[exec] Starting 'svn ( cleanup)' in
'c:\Development\AmsiSuite\trunk\Third Party'
[exec]
c:\Development\AmsiSuite\trunk\Build\Packages\Subversion\SourceControl.T
arget.xml(60,10): 'svn' failed to start.
[exec] Starting 'svn ( revert --recursive .)' in
'c:\Development\AmsiSuite\trunk\Third Party'
[exec]
c:\Development\AmsiSuite\trunk\Build\Packages\Subversion\SourceControl.T
arget.xml(63,10): 'svn' failed to start.
The first echo shows the path using get-environment. Svn.exe is in the
path. If I set the path to the above in a command window and type svn it
runs.
