Sounds like permission problems. Since your normal permissions seem
to be in order, what about SELinux permissions? Are you using
SELinux? See the FAQ entry on setting up permissions:
http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#reposperms
I am not using SELinux, and a bit at a loss as to what to try next. I
am no Linux expert, but I have to be overlooking something simple right?
Any ideas on what to check next?
