I think you should talk to whoever wrote auto.spi.

For what it's worth I use working copies on NFS as well (also on a MacBook Air
with 10.7.5), however I mount them with the automatic NFS mounts feature of the
Disk Utility application. I haven't had any issues doing this.

It's not clear if you think there is a Subversion specific issue here but I
don't see what it is if you do.
