Can't check out from subversion into hgfs shared directory

Running VMware Workstation 6.5.1 build-126130 on Windows Vista x64 with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 32-bit guest OS.

In the RHEL guest OS, I can check out a subversion project into my home directory:

$ cd

$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/0.9.x apr

A apr/config.layout

A apr/Makefile.in

A apr/STATUS

A apr/docs

http:// etc.

But if I try to check it out into an hgfs shared directory, I get an error:

$ cd /mnt/hgfs/shared/svn

$ svn co http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/apr/apr/branches/0.9.x apr

svn: Can't move 'apr/.svn/tmp/entries' to 'apr/.svn/entries': Permission denied

What could be the problem?

VMware Shared Folders have lots of problems. I suggest trying to find a way to accomplish this without using VMware Shared Folders.

I had this problem too.

It seems that we still need to use samba solution to achieve this operation.
