Yes. Berkeley DB often doesn't work over NFS, because many NFS
implementations lack proper POSIX file-locking semantics. It's a FAQ
on the sleepycat (berkeley db) website.

From Subversion's README file:

   Note: The repository should NOT be on a remote filesystem like
      NFS or AFS. For details see:
