An svn update will bring the file back, fixing your local repo.

You should then be able to do an "svn delete" on the file, which tells your local repo that the file is to be deleted, and also deletes it from the file system.

You should then be able to commit the changes back to the repo.

I had the same problem and the reason was that I deleted the file externaly. If you delete it using NetBeans, then commit work fine.
