Error opening db lockfile during checkout

Every time I do a checkout whether via TortoiseSVN or command line, I
get an error like:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/BotanicalMedicine/herbarium/trunk'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn/BotanicalMedicine/herbarium/trunk': 500 Internal
Server Error (http://pippin)

The .svn directory and everything (AFAIK) inside it is created, but
nothing else. I can then do an update and it works without error. From
that point, I can commit, merge, or do anything else and everything
works without error. The checkout then immediately update workaround is
not terrible, but this on little error is driving me crazy. :-)

This is on FreeBSD 4.11, Apache 2.0.53, SVN 1.1.3. I have multiple
repositories and multiple projects within most of them. All
repositories are fsfs and on a mounted smb share. The error occurs
regardless of repository or project. I've tried setting the file and
directory permissions to 777 via the mount_smbfs command and it made no
difference.

httpd-error.log:
[Wed Mar 16 20:54:25 2005] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (20014)Error

Please help. What I'm I missing?
