Hi Rodrigo. I know of no software to automate such a process, but you can put one together by taking advantage of SVN post-commit hooks (http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.ref.reposhooks.post-commit.html) and the VSS command-line interface (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/asxkfzy4(VS.80).aspx).

The trickiest problems will likely be the addition/deletion/renaming of files in your SVN repository and reflecting those changes in VSS. If the source in VSS can also change on you (by another developer), that's going to open a whole other can of worms - you'll have to manage the code in both directions, including merging. Good luck.
