tags folder access denied

I seem to have lost the tags folder in the repository. I tried to
create a new tag and maybe there was some interruption to the server
or something, but now the whole tags folder is gone!

If I try to re-create in repo-browser or add from the disk I get
access denied.

Is there something I can do on the server to either restore my tags or
remove whatever is stopping me from re-creating it?

I can create a folder of a different name but I can't rename it to
tags.

I performed verify and that came up with no problems.

There is nothing specific in the Apache access file.
