Ok, I finally figured out why I was having such troubles.

As it turns out, I am using subversion v1.4 repositories for
which Eclipse-Subclipse v1.6 does not work with these
repositories!  These were created way back when I started
using Fx->F9 and other OSes - of which subversion 1.4x
was used.

So, I removed Collabnet (v10) & tigris subclipse v1.6, then
installed only tigris v1.4x, and lo & behold - it now works
cleanly.  Interestingly, even though I am using F11 &
subversion v1.6x, it serves my v1.4 repository requests
and my other machines just fine, so far.

This staves off upgrading of my v1.4x repositories,
well, at least for now. ;)  This is for Ganymede & Galileo
but I am not sure about F11-Fedora-Eclipse as I would
have to figure out if I can downgrade from v1.6x to v1.4x,
which may not be possible or is it?  I looked at it and there
does not seem to be a mechanism to remove the v1.6x
versions, so how can I do it?

Thanks!
