I've tried with all types of permissions, group rw, all rw and even logging as
the subversion user which has the repository but with no luck.

The problem is probably the use of mmap() as mentioned by Ben Collins, however getting
it to work with NFS is not that important, we currently ssh to the machine with
the repository and run svn there. We're also going to use the Apache interface
in a near future.

Thanks for the help and good luck with this great product (hopefully with more
documentation some day :) )
