From your description, it seems that the svn lib can't access the files
with full rights and therefore fails to even find out whether a path
refers to a file or a folder. It then assumes a folder (not sure how the
apr lib determines this, but usually such cross-platform libs try to
open a path with certain flags, and if that fails that means it's a
folder since a folder can't be opened with those file flags).

And of course, you shouldn't put your working copies on a network share.
They're working copies and should be kept local.
