If you upgraded the working copy from 1.6 then the upgrade may not
have worked properly - it's not perfect - so a fresh checkout may be
your only option.

The word "lock" is overloaded in Subversion. When the working copy is
locked during update this is a local temporary lock to protect against
race conditions in the working copy. It gets created at the start of a
WC operation and removed when the operation is completed. The lock in
the TortoiseSVN context menu is a repository lock, designed to allow
only one person to commit to the repository, and it exists in the
repository for as long as you take out the lock.

The error you were getting initially was due to local locks being left
behind. Removing repository locks is, confusingly, a completely
unrelated process.

Also if you are using TortoiseSVN 1.7.2 you should upgrade to 1.7.4.
