The curious thing is that the share works perfectly in every other way: I can read, write, rename, move files and folders as usual, with Windows Explorer and other Windows applications like my IDE. Commiting with TSVN works, too. I tried this:

C:\Programme\TortoiseSVN\bin>TortoiseProc.exe /command:showcompare /unified /url1:"J:\epson_store\frame\unity\user.php" /revision1:BASE /url2:"J:\epson_store\frame\unity\user.php" /revision2:WC

And got the same error message (with forward slashes in the file names, too):

Can't open file 'J:\epson_store\frame\unity\user.php\.svn\entries': Der Verzeichnisname ist ungültig.

From the source code of TSVN it looks like there are no special flags used from the file system to determine if a path is a directory or a file. For example the function svn_path_split() determines the folder just by searching for the first slash from the right. Maybe it's a Subversion problem afterall (not TSVN).
