You won't be able to solve this the way you're wanting. We aggressively cache the contents from repositories, and that will happen the first time the file is requested (if not in cache), meaning that if a user has already viewed a diff or posted a change against a given file + revision, it will already be in cache and the SCMTool will not have an ability to weigh in on whether the file can be accessed.
Files are also not fetched by that user's account. They're fetched using the credentials set up when configuring the repository. Are your permissions set up per-file, or is it more that they can't access certain hierarchies of the tree?
