TSVN (and usually every other app out there) doesn't know or even care
whether a path is on an NFS share or a local drive. All it cares is the
path itself (needed to access the files and folders) and that it works
as it should.
So this is definitely an issue with your share. From the error message
(btw: Ctrl-C to copy the text of the error dialog to the clipboard, and
you can save yourself from a screenshot) my guess would be that it
doesn't return the proper flags when asked whether a path is a folder or
a file.
