hg update error: abort: No match found!

Hi,
I am relatively new to mecurial.  I'm having a problem updating one of my
repositories and I could not find an answer anywhere on the web or in the
bug tracker.
Here is the problem.  I have the following setup:

1. Shared main repository on a shared NFS file system.
2. Repo clone 1 of main repository on machine A (Windows)
3. Repo clone 2 of main repository on machine B (Solaris)

I use shared file access to the main repo no ssh or http.
Here is what happened:
1. I added a binary file to repo 1, committed it and then pushed it into the
main repo.
2. From repo 2 I then tried pulling the change from the main repo which
seemed to work.
3. I tried updating the working directory and all I get now where I run hg
update is the following error message:
abort: No match found!

When I run hg tip in repo 1 I get:
changeset:   9:e2d4f5a21769
tag:         tip
parent:      7:ee408ed57c7d
parent:      8:387d478f45ef

When I do the same thing in the now defunctioning repo 2 I get:
changeset:   9:e2d4f5a21769
tag:         tip
parent:      8:ee408ed57c7d
parent:      7:387d478f45ef


Which looks good to me. I even checked on repo 2 the .hg/store/data
directory to see if  my added file was at leased added to the repo but
nothing no .i or .d file with that name.

I hope someone can help me figure out what happened to my repo 2.

Thanks in advance,
Sebastian
