Access denied on commit in TortoiseSVN

Ok, issue one!

We recently had one of the developers leave and I have been trying to get all his projects submitted to source control by logging in to his old machine using his username and password. We're using TortoiseSVN and the error I was getting was:

'\\ServerName\Repositories\FolderName\db\transactions\2670-1.txn': Access is Denied

I found various things about turning off antivirus software or stopping it from scanning that folder but in this case it turned out that the guy who runs the Exchange server had removed the developer from an exchange group which had access to the repositories share. I gave the user permissions to the share and voila!

Easy one to start with!
