Hi!

We are using subversion with FSFS on OpenAFS 1.3.81 on debian sarge.
We've made a volume for every repository and made that volume only
accessable by the PC running the subversion server via Apache2/WebDAV
and svnserve. The svn server has full rights (except admister) on the
volume.
One person has some probs on commiting data to 2 repositorys only, to
the other ones he can do it without problems. But all reps were created
the same way, these special 2 were only created later with a "newer"
version of OpenAFS... The error appearing is kind of a "cannot
access..." error, after a few retries it works.
