A very simple reason, as it turns out.  During the package building 
process I was copying the build tree using a simple 'cp -r *' command 
which did not copy hidden directories, including the '.svn/' 
subdirectory.  So, the problem wasn't the svn command but that the svn 
subdirectory was entirely absent!  This only became a problem when you 
included in the build process an interrogation of the svn revision number.

I've modified the copy command to include the '.svn/' subdirectory and 
all is now well.

Regards,
David.
