Thank you for the suggestion. Have not tried it yet though. The problem seems to come back occasionally.
I think it started when I added a property to the root folder and chose to make it recursively through the folder tree. The situation is like this: The developers here have access to the entire folder structure, that is, from the root and down. Then there is the marketing department that have access only to a certain subfolder in the root. Thus, when I made a property change to the root (recursively through all folders), and the marketing department later made an UPDATE of their subfolder, they got this error. Apparently, SVN tried to access the root or some other folder to which marketing does not have access. It sounds like a bug to me...
