svn Permission Problems

I finally go subversion to checkout a repository, but I can only do it
as root.  When I submit the following command from a common user I get
the following error:

svn co file://localhost/disk0/SVN

svn: Unable to open an ra_local session to URL
svn: Unable to open repository 'file://localhost/disk0/SVN'
svn: Berkeley DB error while opening environment for filesystem
/disk0/SVN/db:
Permission denied

I gather this is a permission problem.  Anybody have a clue where to
start looking?  Is it a Berkeley DB problem?  Can someone tell me how
they have there owenership/permissions set up?

Tks

Yes, you need to read/write permission to the repository, especially the
db/ area within it, to access.
