The transaction directories are created by the checkin. I have never
touched them manually.

What I'm saying is exactly what I said above. When I first start
Apache, checkins work fine. After Apache runs for a while I get the
permissions issue above on all checkins. I have not changed any
permissions or masks in the meantime.

If I try to checkin and get that error, restarting apache and checking
in again works perfectly.
