The number of entries you see is irrelevant. In fact, that's how
Subversion reports it, and therefore that's how TortoiseSVN shows it
to you.

TortoiseSVN always commits non-recursively if you don't keep
*everything* checked for a commit. As soon as you deselect one or more
entries (e.g. a file you don't want to commit), TortoiseSVN must
commit non-recursively.
So: to get rid of that error message, commit everything the commit
dialog shows you.
