I think there are issues with certain versions of samba... when mapping to it from Windows that causes problems with svn. Why would you want to checkout to a mapped drive on the host to work in windows? Why not just check out to the virtual disk?
Also, make sure you don't share a repository that you checked out in Linux with Windows or vice versa... it will cause problems from what I have seen following these mail lists for years now.
