When you use the svn+ssh protocol, the user as whom you are
connecting (in this case, "indraveni") must have read and write
access to the db and transactions directories. (Giving permissions to
the user "svn" is relevant when using the svn protocol, but not when
using the svn+ssh protocol, since under svn+ssh the "svn" user is
never the one who's starting svnserve.)

There's a section in that permissions documentation you referenced
about the svn+ssh protocol and a wrapper script you could use to help
you out. Have you done that?
