This seems to be a different problem. Note that it used to work under SVN 1.5.

I used both SVN and TortoiseSVN and they both show the same behaviour.

Actually I don't really have a clue. The server is a NAS, a Maxtor
Shared Storage Plus. It runs the following samba:
# /usr/local/samba/sbin/smbd --version
Version 3.0.2

What I think is the problem, is that SVN recognizes all files as
directories, and therefore tries to load the .svn directory from
dir/file.ext/.svn instead of from dir/.svn. Maybe it is some weird
kind of interactoin between Vista x64, Samba and SVN. I will see
whether I can find an 32 bits Vista installation to test this out. As
I said before, it did work on 1.5.
