Subversion Can't set permissions on [500, #13]

Hello guys,

we have a strange behavior.

We have Ubuntu 12.04 installed with Subversion 1.8.10. The authentication works through Apache (https) and ldap authentication.
The subversion repositories reside on a netapp share (mounted through cifs).

This is the entry in /etc/fstab:
//fileserver04.insiders.zz/SVN_PROD /data/SVN_PROD cifs noperm,username=domain/user,password=mypass,uid=33,gid=33,nobrl,file_mode=0777,dir_mode=0777,setuids,cache=none 0 0

Until yesterday everything worked.

The repository has 52999 versions. Now when a Client tries to check-in a next revision (TortoiseSVN) he gets the failure:
"Can't set permission on '/data/SVN_PROD/{path_to_repo}/db/revs/53'"

The apache log says:
[Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Could not MERGE resource "/Development/smartFIX/!svn/txn/52999-16wb" into "/Development/smartFIX/Current/trunk/dev/src". [500, #0]
[Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] An error occurred while committing the transaction. [500, #13]

[Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Can't set permissions on '/data/SVN_PROD/Development/smartFIX/db/revs/53': Permission denied [500, #13]
[Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Could not fetch resource information. [404, #0]
[Thu Jan 08 14:27:02 2015] [error] [client 10.54.6.95] Named transaction doesn't exist. [404, #175002]

My guess is he wants to create the new folder 53 (which works well), but the permission on the folder he can not set (chmod, chown).

I copied the repository on a local directory and connected to the repository through svn://. I could created more than 53000 revisions.

Has anyone any idea what could be the problem?

Best regards,
Hermann
