Redmine

First off, I love redmine it has changed our development process to no end. I am trying to integrate our subversion repo with redmine, but I am having issues with reposman.rb or my configs or something.

So I run

ruby /home/trac/redmine/extra/svn/reposman.rb --redmine-host **** --svn-dir /home/trac/svn -o trac -u file:///home/trac/svn/

I get
unable to create /home/trac/svn/boatlift : Operation not permitted - /home/trac/svn/boatlift

I check the account permissions for ls -l /home/trac/svn/
drwxrwxr-x 6 trac trac 4096 Feb 11 19:30 boatlift

The funny part is it creates the repo and I can access via the http, but I want reposman to setup the repository config in redmine.

Any ideas? It has taken me close to three days of tweaking our hardened server to get to this point. Thanks in advance.
