Working copy blocking

We are all running the latest TortoiseSVN which is build with svn 1.8.8.

Attempting to add files, I got this message (retrying it, the add worked)

Command: Add
Error: sqlite[S5]: database is locked
Error: Additional errors:
Error: sqlite[S5]: database is locked
Error: Another process is blocking the working copy database, or the underlying filesystem does not support file locking; if the working copy is on a network filesystem, make sure file locking has been enabled on the file server.
Completed!:

This is on a Windows 7 system. The working copy is on the local drive. I'm thinking it is because perhaps we use both Tortoise and Ankhsvn?

What can I look at?

Open the Run dialog or the Explorer and type in %APPDATA%\Subversion

Windows will resolve that variable to the right location.

Can you remind me where the svn config file is on windows? Tortoise doesn't seem to want to open the file.

Check if either client has exclusive locking configured:
