Okay, we plan to do that asap, but it will take at least a little
time. In the meantime, there's no reason to believe that's causing my
problem though, right?

That's what we're doing but the repository is owned by a separate user
as an additional security measure so that if someone somehow gains
shell access to the shared account, they won't be able to delete the
repository or anything like that. Do you think there's anyway to make
it work this way?

Thanks for the help.
