I can't imagine why we'd get a permission denied error while trying to
unlock a file we've just locked. Note that while this is new code for
1.4.2, we do the same file operations to manage locking for the fs-wide
write-lock, so it should work just the same.

Did 1.4.0 work okay?

That's right. Strange that it's empty, since I would have expected that
it'd either have files in it (such as the prototype revision lockfile,
for one), or it'd have been deleted completely. It's probable that we
encountered another error when trying to clean up the transaction
directory, so we left it alone.

Yes - could you produce an strace of the failing 'svn import' command?
That might give us a clue as to whether the problem is happening at the
local or remote end. To save the bandwidth of everyone on this list,
could you open a new issue and upload the strace output as an
attachment?

Thanks,
Malcolm
