subversion cannot chmod on samba mounted ntfs partition

All, 
 
I am trying to use a subversion repository on a samba share mounted with
smbmount to a linux (fedora) server. The linux server runs apache with
the subversion modules. When I try to commit I get this error:
 
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MERGE request failed on '(.....)'
svn: Can't chmod
'/mnt/subversion/repository/db/transactions/13608-1.txn/rev': Operation
not permitted

Obviously the chmod operation doesn't work on smbmounted shares. Is
there a solution to this or am I stuck? 
 
Thanks,
 
Leon
