Does your POM have any SVN keyword substitutions in it? For example "$Id$" or "$Revision$"? I have had issues with releases that at the root was a file locking problem that I was able to alleviate by removing the keywords substitutions.

Since a few weeks I'm not able to perform a release with Maven. The release process fails during executing the release:prepare goal at the same position, always. The point at which the release fails is when Maven tries to commit the release POM's to SVN. This commit fails with the error message that the file which is about to be committed already exists at the position in SVN. But it isn't there. Strange, uh? I actually checked the tagbase configuration of the plugin and tried to alter it, but the effect remains. I don't know what I can try to fix this issue. The last thing altered at the configuration is a switch of the SVN server. We had to switch to a newer SVN version 1.5.0. We also switched to the new 1.5.0 SVN client as we know that there are problems with newer server software and older client software. Please find parts of my pom.xml configuration attached below. Any pointers are welcome. Regards, Andreas.
