"showcompare" uses urls, and your passing *paths* to it.

What you want to use is the 'diff' command:

tortoiseproc /command:diff /path:"d:\temp\testsvn\blahnewfile.cs"

That's it.
As the docs for the 'diff' command say:
http://tortoisesvn.net/docs/release/TortoiseSVN_en/tsvn-automation.html#tsvn-automation-basics

"If /path2 is omitted, then the diff is done between the file in /path
and its BASE. To explicitly set the revision numbers use /startrev:xxx
and /endrev:xxx, and for the optional peg revision use /pegrevision:xxx."
