svn: Can't open file '/home/www/socalgraph-dev/.svn/lock': Permission denied

From: Graham Anderson <grahama_at_siren.cc>

I can run my post-commit script successfully as root...but not as
user svn

The post-commit script executes an 'svn update' on a website on the
server
As I am running subversion as user, 'svn' , how do I grant 'svn'
privileges to run the script ?

This is the script:
#!/bin/bash
/home/svn/repository/hooks/update-dev

This is the compiled 'c' script:
#include <stdlib.h>
           int main(int argc, const char *argv[])
           {
             system("/usr/local/bin/svn update /home/mysite-dev/www");
           }

The 'post-commit' script and update-dev are owned by user , 'svn'
-rwsr-sr-x 1 svn svn 50 Jul 25 20:06 post-commit
-rwsr-sr-x 1 svn svn 13789 Jul 27 00:22 update-dev

'svn' is a member of the correct group, mysite-devgrp

$ pico /etc/group
mysite-devgrp:x:501:mysite-dev,svn
$ pwd
/home/mysite-dev/www
$ groups
users mysite-devgrp

any help is appreciated as I am new to unix

many thanks
g
