What is the root of the working copy?
   \\SUE-PC\C-Users\RowanB\Documents\Inetpub\www.sylvesterbradley.org
or

\\SUE-PC\C-Users\RowanB\Documents\Inetpub\www.sylvesterbradley.org\source.

If the former, then TSVN would offer to (add and) commit the copy, as
that would be inside the your working copy too.

The .svn folder is in the root of a working copy.

Working copies should never be nested (ok, there are svn:externals,
but that is another story 8-).

If you delete the .svn folder from the working copy, it no longer can
be used as a working copy. It's a plain file system folder then.

What's your TSVN version by the way?
