Is the user trying to checkout trunk directly? So you expect him to only
receive:
/trunk/Source
/trunk/Data

With this configuration, he has to checkout trunk/Source and trunk/Data one by
one. One has to have read access on the folder to be able to checkout that
folder!

Maybe read also this issue, it talks about setting execute rights on a folder
(instead of read rights):

hope this helps,
