I have checked the permissions of the directory I'm using and they're fine, I have tried Tortoise 1.7 and 1.8.99 (nightly build) with the same results. There are other people on the team running the same version of Tortoise and Subversion and are not having these issues.

Virus scanners and search indexers can both lock files and cause other
problems for SVN and other version control systems. Could that be the
cause in your situation? Where I work they have a special directory
whitelisted from the virus scanner which we are supposed to use for
our SVN working copies.
