Now your statement makes sense also for me... :-)

Yes, you're right here, my bad. I'm not owner even though I have
rwxrwx--- access which I would define as "normal" since the commit would
definately be possible. Failing with the message about chmod (and some
"cannot set to read-only" type messages in the WC usage I described in the
earlier post) mislead me to believe that svn, in general, tries to do
operations which have no meaning on FAT and fails because of that.
Armed with this information, I reused LD_PRELOAD trickery for chmod
provided by fakeroot and the commit succeeded.
