If you use new enough git both on server and on clients it should
not have problems with packed-refs. I would rather check permissions
of $GIT_DIR and $GIT_DIR/packed-refs.

If "git show-ref" and "git for-each-ref" works, then 
"git ls-remote <repo>" should work, and git-fetch/git-clone
shoulw work too...
