just FYI:
those tools are way too old.
We're now at version 1.9.4 for TortoiseSVN, and the collabNet server
also is somewhere at 1.9.x.

They're zero bytes because they only serve as locks, i.e. they only have
to be there or not (if they exist, the db is locked, if they don't then
they're not locked).
That error message comes from the server and usually means the server
permissions are not set up properly: the server process needs full
access to the repository path. On Windows, the server process is either
the user SYSTEM or NETWORK.
A very quick web search gives you plenty of hints:

no, TSVN has all the svn libraries included (for a client).

drive F or H indicates a network share. Do NOT store working copies on
network shares but only *local* harddrives:

the error message in your screenshot also indicates that you store your
working copy on a network share. Again: do NOT do that!
And if your repository is stored on a network share, don't do that either:
