OK, here are some details.  Our server is a dual UltraSparc running  
Solaris 10 attached to the SAN.

Working client situation:  subversion 1.3.0 on Sparc Solaris 9, not  
using Berkeley DB

Non-working client situation: subversion 1.3.0 on x86-64 RHEL 4.0,  
using Berkeley DB

I think everything is running NFSv4 at this point.

So I don't know if the problem is with RHEL versus Solaris 10, or  
Berkeley DB versus non-Berkeley DB (whatever subversion uses when  
Berkeley DB is not available).  Perhaps I can do some experiments to  
see whether Solaris 9 + Berkeley DB works or not.
