$Header$ isn't a Subversion keyword. The list of keywords is Date,
LastChangedDate, Revision, LastChangedRevision, Rev, Author,
LastChangedBy, HeadURL, URL & Id
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.advanced.props.special.keywords.html
(or if you prefer the TSVN docs,
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-dug-propertypage.html#tsvn-dug-propertypage-props)

The fact that $Header$ isn't one of the expanded keywords may or may
not be causing your issue, but you should be aware that it's not going
to work the way you expect.
