Looks like this was being caused by the Windows Search service, which is
apparently somehow different from the Indexing Service. Sigh.

What's really weird is that according to the Windows Search service's
own configuration it shouldn't have been scanning that drive in the
first place.

There's still a bug in SVN/TSVN, though: if the tmp folder doesn't exist
then instead of the "Access denied" error above it reports "Path not
found" instead of just creating it and moving on. (My best guess is
that the "Access denied" errors were from a move operation or something
and are what caused the tmp folders to vanish in the first place.)

Plus the aforementioned problem with the paths in the error dialog.
