[TSVN] subversion over samba?

Is it possible to use tortoiseSVN on a shared samba drive?

I checked out a project on a linux box with the command line svn
client. The location where it is checked out is shared via samba.

Then, I browsed to that directory from a windows (2000) box, but the
"SVN status" column shows non-versioned for all the files. I found the
FAQ about enabling network drives in Setup->Look&Feel;
this make the check icon appear on directories, but the "SVN status" is
still non-versioned for both files and directories.

If I use tortoiseSVN to checkout the project on a local drive,
everything works.

If I use tortoiseSVN to checkout the project on a samba drive, it fails
to checkout with the error: "Write-lock stolen in 'dir'. Please execute
the cleanup command."

Is my samba misconfigured perhaps?
