To get the 'A' status, the file must already be added. You need to match a '?'. Here is what I use:
 
svn status | grep -v "^.[ \t]*\..*" | grep "^?" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs svn add
svn commit
 
The first grep gets rid of any hidden files (which may be present if you use IDEs such as Zend studio).
The second grep makes sure you only get files that are currently of unknown status (ie the new ones).
awk grabs the file names.
xargs passes the file names as parameters to svn add.
