Error while build sqlite-DB: "TypeError: expected a character buffer object"

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
When I read that the ubiquitous "unknown node"-problem had been fixed, I 
thought I'd give svnplot another try - unfortunately to no avail. :-(

The problem occured while building the sqlite DB for our internal repository.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
"Found Error expected a character buffer object"

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Snapshot r451 (2010-11-30)

Please provide any additional information below.

The offending path /XXX/YYY is a directory which seems to have been deleted in 
this revision, while its contents have been moved into another, new directory.

console:

Whoops, sorry, I created a dublicate bug report. I should have searched the 
existing reports more thoroughly before posting. :-(

Mh, how can I tag it as "dublicate" or "invalid"? (I'm new to the Google Code 
issuetracker.)

I will mark it as duplicate.
