Subversion command line commit does nothing

When I run:

svn commit -m "some message" myFile.txt

in the DOS shell, it gives me an empty line as the result. There's no error message, etc. And the file is not committed.

What could be causing this?

Do "svn st myFile.txt". If the first column has a ? in it, then the file isn't under source control and you need to "svn add myFile.txt". If the first column is blank, then there aren't any changes to commit. If the first column is something else, then "svn help st" will give you the meaning of the other possible flags.
