Hi Martin,

I would think that your best bet in this instance (at least for the current version) is to just disable the status cache process and switch TSVN over to the shell cache: http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-settings.html#tsvn-dug-settings-overlay. You'll lose the performance gain of the separate process, but it should work fine under Terminal Server.

Hope this helps,

- Mike
