I get the following error message when I try to compare files in Eclipse using Subclipse:

Unsupported working copy format svn: This client is too old to work with the working copy at 'C:\XXX' (format 31). You need to get a newer Subversion client. For more details, see http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change.

I'm using, svn (command line): 1.8.0, Subclipse: 1.8.22, Subversion JavaHL: 1.7.10.

What could be wrong?
