I encounter the same problem using working-copies on samba-drives.
The reason this happens is due to problems when the svn-client tries
to change the file permissions in the wc. As unix filesystems do
allow permission changes on files only if the acting user is owner,
windows uses special flags to promote this permission to non-owners.

Usually the samba setup ensures read/write access to the connecting windows
user (usually by group permissions). In my opinion the svn-client should
try to perform the file-permission operations more carefully (i.e. the
client
should not fail and report an error upon "unnecessary permission changes"
if the following operation works well !!)
