I guess so...

Quoting http://tortoisesvn.net/node/16 :

| Do not create a Berkeley DB repository on a network share!
|
| It cannot exist on a remote filesystem such as NFS, AFS, or Windows
| SMB. Berkeley DB requires that the underlying filesystem implement
| strict POSIX locking semantics, and more importantly, the ability to
| map files directly into process memory. Almost no network filesystems
| provide these features. If you attempt to use Berkeley DB on a network
| share, the results are unpredictable. You may see mysterious errors
| right away, or it may be months before you discover that your
| repository database is subtly corrupted.
