The test does

   os.chmod(sbox.ospath(".svn/wc.db"), 0)

to make the wc.db inaccessible. I suspect you are running the tests as
root which gives you access to the file and causes the test to fail.
It's generally a bad idea to build software or run tests as root, you
generally only need root access when you get to the install step.

I suppose we should skip the test if we can detect running as root.
