edit /etc/apache2/envvars, change LANG from C to your locale language setting.

I did the following modification, then restarted apache2, no more problem.

export LANG=C --> export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"

You haven't somewhere support of your zh_CN.UTF-8. It can be:

  • Ubuntu

check readability of ls /mnt/svn/

  • Apache

create http-only location, add to it some zh_CN.UTF-8 named files and directories, disable DirectoryIndex and verify result in browser for readability

I suppose, test #2 will failed

Edit

From the subversion book:

Errors like this typically occur when the Subversion client has received a UTF-8 string from the repository, but not all of the characters in that string can be represented using the encoding of the current locale. For example, if your locale is en_US but a collaborator has committed a Japanese filename, you're likely to see this error when you receive the file during an svn update.

To fix this error message you have to set your current locale appropriately
