Do you have a virus scanner running. They are known to cause problems
by holding on to file handles when they shouldn't. Failing that, try
reporting this on the users at subversion.tigris.org mailing list as
the problem appears to lie within the subversion library. TSVN 1.4.8
is linked to subversion 1.4.6 libraries.
