I admit the message is a bit confusing. The problem is that the
subvertpy you're using was linked against svn 1.4 (or older), not 1.5
or 1.6. So even though you locally have 1.6 (which is backwards
compatible with 1.4) it didn't get to compile in support for the functionality
that was added in svn 1.5.

You're more than welcome to.
