SVN Won't download newly added files

SVN won't download newly added files but will update existing. Developer B adds 3 new files to the repo, and when Developer A updates it does not download the files. Both using TortoiseSVN and VisualSVN. Does anyone know what could be causing this problem? If Developer A goes to the Repo Browser they can see them, but it just won't update their folder with them on an Update. Help would be appreciated.

From this answer: Subversion (using VisualSVN/Tortoise) refuses to pull down new files

Call once the "update to revision..." dialog and select "fully recursive" as depth. There seems to be a problem with empty folders.

Is there any chance the developer did the initial checkout using sparse directories? Also make sure they aren't passing an incorrect --depth parameter to the update command.
