I'm not sure about the actual bug you're experiencing, but you could
have done this more simply using the --rewrite-root option to git-svn.
 It might still save you time to just do that from scratch.

If you really want to debug it, you might want to run it through 'strace' and see if it's having any trouble creating those files.

Have fun,
Avery
