I've been playing around with the permissions a bit. 
What I've found is if read permissions are turned off
for a directory and its files, noone can check them
out.

So:

1. Turn off read and write permissions on the parent
directory and its files for those that shouldn't be
able to check it out (this is assuming the use of
ACLs) but keep the execute bit turned on for those
that need to be able to checkout its subdirectories.

2. Turn on the read and execute bits on the
subdirectory for those that need to be able to
checkout the subdirectory.

3. Turn off write permissions within the two
directories to prevent checkins.
