I believe SVN will cache your username (and optionally password, in
cleartext!) forever in ~/.subversion/auth. I have no idea if Tortoise
writes to the same area or not.  Are you sure you never ran "svn" from
the command-line, in addition to running Tortoise?

Just a guess. I know very little about how svn works in this respect. :)
