um ... are you trying to do these file moves via a patch? that could
be your problem as i suspect a patch shows only that one file is being
deleted while another file that just *happens* to have the same name
is being created elsewhere. if subversion doesn't realize the
connection between the two, you'll definitely lose the file history,
and i'm guessing a patch file would cause just that to happen.
you need to use "svn move" or "svn rename" to preserve that history.
