Yes, those autoprops only work on files since those are passed to the
svn library, and that as you've noticed doesn't add automatically to
folders.

But why do you want to set a property "svn:bugtraq:url"?

First, you must never, ever (repeat: never, ever, not in your whole
lifetime) use the 'svn:' namespace for your own properties. That
namespace is reserved.

Second, if you want to set the bugtraq:url property however: that
property is automatically added to new folders by TSVN. So you don't
have to set any auto props for this: it's already done automatically
without you needing to configure it.
