Solution

    • You can not use non-local path as repository location
    • Mounting remote location and using it as local repository-drive is, in common, Bad Idea (tm) and shortest way to corrupted repository

    Correct solution in your case will be:

    • Local repository
    • Local Working Copy
    • Some deploy-tools, which can work from post-commit hook (or on demand) and upload (using FTP) files on final destination
