They are working copy locks:

http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.1/apb.html#svn-ap-b-sect-1.2.2

Working copy locks are not the same as the repository locks created by
svn_client_lock. If you are sure no running process is using the
working copy locks then the locks can be removed by running 'svn
cleanup'.
