can't open file node.0.0 Permission denied

Hi, everyone,

we have the strange problem that a certain submit fails with the strange error message "can't open file node.0.0 Permission denied". I found the question in the web (e.g. at http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-01/0300.shtml), but so far couldn't find a real answer what could solve the problem.

We run svn 1.2.3 on a SuSE Linux 9.1, behind an Apache 2.0.54, using HTTP basic authentication.

I had a look at the db/transactions directory (ls -l; excerpt:)

drwxrwsr-x 28 root www 880 2006-08-08 18:45 .
(...)
drw-rwSr-- 2 wwwrun www 48 2006-08-08 17:45 14590-17.txn
drwxrwSr-- 2 wwwrun www 48 2006-08-08 17:44 14590-16.txn
(...)
drw-rwSr-- 2 wwwrun www 48 2006-08-08 17:07 14590-1.txn
drwxrwsr-x 5 root www 408 2006-08-08 17:06 ..
drwxrwsr-x 2 wwwrun www 168 2006-07-25 16:38 14156-1.txn
drwxrwsr-x 2 wwwrun www 168 2006-06-07 16:16 1644-1.txn
drwxrwsr-x 2 wwwrun www 168 2006-06-27 07:58 1937-1.txn
drwxrwsr-x 2 wwwrun www 168 2006-07-06 16:59 2110-1.txn

There are no more main numbers other than 2110, 1937...14590; I found that only the directories NNNN-1.txn contain files (but /not/ 14590-1.txn). I have no idea why the 14590-N.txn directories have "S" attributes (group executable), while the earlier ones have "s" ...

The additional group executable bit of 14590-16.txn was added manually after try #16 had failed, but this (of course) didn't change anything.

Strange enough, the commit seams to have worked, since I found an incremental dump of revision 14590 later in my backup directory.

Any idea anyone what's going on here?
