....so you do not have any subversion plugin installed for netbeans?

OK

I'm sorry but I'm not familiar with java and how jar files work. In theory, if you are just running the .jar (outside netbeans?) then I do not see how TortoiseSVN could be involved. Could you try uninstalling tortoise and running the .jar a few times to see if it still happens? This might take a while and difficult to prove a negative...
Alternatively, you don't have some sort of scheduled task running in the background? How regular is "every few days"?

Sorry I couldn't help much, perhaps someone else familiar with netbeans is available?

P.S. TortoiseSVN has its own mailing list, have you checked their archive?
