utscmd is a subdirectory of the current working directory. It is
included in svn:ignore. Why is svn even trying to lock this
directory?
The sequence of events here is that the project was checked out and
then
its build command run. The build command created a number of
directories, which have been added to svn:ignore so as not to
figure in
svn at all.
What am I failing to understand here?
Are you sure utscmd is not already versioned. Ignores only works on
non-versioned files.

Yes, that was the problem. The directory was already versioned and it
shouldn't have been. The build process then came along and destroyed it
(including its .svn subdirectory) and made a new one.
However, I still don't understand why svn update is designed to fail if
unversioned directories are found below it. Couldn't they just be ignored?
