The 's' bit on a directory is the set-gid bit. This has nothing to do
with subversion and everything to do with filesystem permissions. New
files will be created in the directory with the group of the directory
itself. As a user creating files in the directory you should be in
that group. It sounds to me like the user is not in the group
specified by the setgid bit of the directory.
Showing us more details of your problem would be needed if you desire
more help.
id
ls -la
And also show the exact error messages.
