svn-inject says "Permission denied"

[Edward Betts <edward@debian.org>]

I'm getting this error message:
svn: Can't create directory '/svn/pkg-perl/db/transactions/980-1.txn': Permission denied

Is something broken? Here is the full log of my svn-inject run:

$ svn-inject libdate-simple-perl_3.01-1.dsc svn+ssh://edward@svn.debian.org/svn/pkg-perl/packages/
