I am not a Unix expert at all but could it have something to do with
the NFS mount settings on your OSX client? Also, I have no idea what
this is, but I've seen people talk about something called umask?
before. Could it be a problem with something like that?

If you successfully got JavaHL installed and working and you are
having the problem, my guess is that it is something outside of
Subversion that is causing this.
