It's not quite clear in the OP's message, but I think they're showing
that such a file already exists:

Quijing Fan, can you confirm that the file does exist in the right
directory:

    $ pwd
    some_prefix/schacon-hg-git-0ed3c70
    $ ls ../tarballs/hg-git_0.2.5.orig.tar.gz
    ../tarballs/hg-git_0.2.5.orig.tar.gz

If the directory does exist, I don't know why the ‘svn-buildpackage’
command would be complaining that it doesn't exist.
