Hmm, no, that doesn't seem to be the problem.  That tree is using POSIX
ACLs:

$ getfacl /var/svn/xfce/db/transactions
getfacl: Removing leading '/' from absolute path names
# file: var/svn/xfce/db/transactions
# owner: root
# group: root
user::rwx
user:httpd:r-x
user:httpsd:rwx
group::---
group:xfce-svn:rwx
mask::rwx
other::r-x
default:user::rwx
default:user:httpd:r--
default:user:httpsd:rw-
default:group::---
default:group:xfce-svn:rwx
default:mask::rwx
default:other::---

And indeed I can manually create directories there.

Group xfce-svn has rwx perms, and:
$ id olivier
uid=1003(olivier) gid=504(olivier)
groups=504(olivier),501(xfce-web),502(xfce-svn)

I'm not really sure what to make of this...
