I believe that Repair Permissions does not affect User folders 
permissions. Only folders that the System is in control of 
/Applications, /Library, /System, etc are repaired.

If a user has bad permisssions in their personal folders, you probably 
have to fix them by hand, using either the terminal or a GUI app like 
BatChmod.

Good luck.
