Read Only flag set on files incorrectly

Hi there, firstly here is what I'm running:

Development computer: WinXP
Delphi 7 IDE
TortoiseSVN 1.4.3

Subversion Server:
Fedora Core 5 Linux
Subversion 1.3

I'm new to this, so its possible I'm doing something wrong, but I've spent a
day on this and I can't seem to work it out. I have created a repository
for an application on my Linux box. I FTP'd the files to that box, and
setup the repository with an import.

I can see the repository and its files on my Windows machine, so I use
TortoiseSVN's Update to checkout the files to my local computer to work on
them. They show that they are locked to me.

I work on the files that are in read/write state. When I'm finished I want
to check them back into the repository, so I use the TortoiseSVN 'Commit'
function, which correctly identifies the changes and updates the repository.

I would now expect my local files to be read/only since the files are
checked in for the next developer to work on. This is the case. My local
files are set read/only.

Now when I reconnect to get the files back again to work on them, it
correctly appears to check them back out to me to work on. But here is
where the problem lies....

On my computer, all of the files are STILL set Read/Only. I can't edit
them, although I've got the locks on them. Since this problem appears to be
solely related to TortoiseSVN bringing the files to me, and setting them as
Read/Only, I thought I would raise this as an issue here.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this a known bug?

Thanks in advance for any help.
