svn checkout .svn/entries': Operation not permitted

[nlbs]

I've a Directory /media/SRV
I want to checkout my svn reposetory to here.
checkout is successfull when I do it in $HOME or any other directory.
but When I do it in /media/SRV i get the following error.

svn: Can't change perms of file 'xxx.p4/.svn/entries': Operation not permitted

here is the attrubutes of /media/SRV

user@server:/media$ ls -l;
drwxrwxrwx 12 root root 12288 2008-08-01 17:44 SRV

SRV is mass writable and readable.
I can simply read, write, execute common files from this directory. without root access.
but i makes probem during svn. (if I checkout as root (using sudo) then its all ok)

Probably you have already understood that
a Hard disk partition is mounted on /media/SRV

To reach SRV, your normal user has to go through /media. what are the permissions on /media?

Normal user require 'x' executable permission to cd to directory.

I am using debian.
so the /media is the regular /media Directory of debian

user@server:/$ ls -l;
drwxr-xr-x   4 root root  4096 2008-06-01 18:11 home
drwxr-xr-x   8 root root  4096 2008-08-01 14:39 media

the attributes of home is same as attributes of media.
but checkout on /home/user works successfully.
but checkout on /media/SRV doesnt work as a normal user.

This s an Important Line from /etc/fstab
That shows the mounting attributes of /dev/sda5 on /media/SRV

/dev/sda5	/media/SRV	vfat	defaults,utf8,umask=0	0	0

Solved by Putting
uid=1000
e.g. my $UID is 1000
/dev/sda5 is fat and I forgot to do that while configuring fstab.

Thanks AnyWay.
