You're right, I found that out too (see below).

I'm running Ubuntu and have the samba share mounted with smbmount - this
must be causing the problem: I'm not able to overwrite .svn/entries with
.svn/tmp/entries by hand either. So in the meanwhile I tried the
opposite of your advise and mounted the share from Windows... Guess
what, svn worked without any problems.

Damn it.

I want to do my development from Ubuntu, but this permissions thing is
messing me up. I've tried half a day but just can't see the light.

Anyway, thanks a bunch for trying to help. I'm going to stroll along a
couple more mailing lists for a little while to try and solve this
before the weekend.
