Only now i've understood what you're trying to accomplish... i've missed the part where you actually commit to the local repo. i understood it as if you're just working on your local files and then let the Shared folder sync them... not that you actually perform a Commit locally and then sync the .svn files :)
In that case, you should really move to git as Nikolay suggested :) Its basically doing exactly what you want...
