I am running subversion 1.4 on Centos 5.2 and my clients are using tortoise to do their check out, commit etc. I think I have permissions problems but I have configured the folder to accessible to everyone with 777 attribute but I seem not to be getting anywhere. Its generating this error on tortoise "svn: Can't open file 'PATH/TO/MY/FILES/entries': Permission denied". Some guy was suggesting some indexing software installed on the client machine like google desktop, any suggestions?

One thing note, If a parent folder does not grant traverse permission (the execute flag x), then non-root users will get an error message, even if the leaf directory node is set to 777. Also, if you are using Apache, you will need to make sure that there is config block that allows access to your files.
The solution is with samba, after a long grill with permissions we discovered that for some reason you need to add these entries in the smb.conf file.
force create mode = 0774 delete readonly = yes
I know to some of you it might sound crazy considering that you have the write permission enable already, it think its a bug!!LoL :)
