Hi Stephan,
I had the same error output. My problem was that I was using and old 
version of subversion which had no support for the "--xml" flag the 
SVNPoller uses. Upgrading your SVN to 1.4.x might work. If you already 
have a new Subversion version then you could copy the svn command string 
which is created inside the svnpoller and try it by hand.
