Can't open file '/path/to/svn/testrepo/db/transactions/129-10.txn/node.0.0': Permission denied [500, #13]

Hi,
I hit intermittent problem on commit with following configuration:
Fedora Core 5 x86_64
kernel 2.6.19-1.2288.fc5
httpd-2.2.0-5.1.2
mod_dav_svn-1.3.2-2.1
http + mod_dav_svn (+ NIS authentication using Apache:AuthenNis) is
the only way to access the repositories (a ViewVC Web interface is
also provided however). The repositories are owned by apache:apache. A
script using hot-backup.py is run every day as root to backup the
repositories. SELinux is disabled.

The commit fails sometimes because of permission problem:
[Fri Dec 21 13:57:23 2007] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Could not create
activity /svnroot/testrepo/!svn/act/854bf159-cc41-0410-a8b2-b46b0fd5c84d.
 [500, #0]
[Fri Dec 21 13:57:23 2007] [error] [client x.x.x.x] could not begin a
transaction [500, #13]
[Fri Dec 21 13:57:23 2007] [error] [client x.x.x.x] Can't open file
'/homelocal/svn/testrepo/db/transactions/129-10.txn/node.0.0':
Permission denied [500, #13]

The 129-10.txn directory is created with weired permissions:
drw-rwSrw-
Restarting Apache (and deleting the tx directories) solves the problem
temporarily.

I found lots of threads about this problem (eg
http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?listName=users&msgNo=40242)
but no solution.
Could someone help?
Thanks,
Mathieu
