 repeating Reece's question, what is the permissions/owner
 _of_the_directory_which_contains_ the '.git/' directory?
 I can reproduce this behaviour (git 1.6.0.4) simply by
 denying myself search (née execute) permission on that
 directory, for entirely obvious reasons.

It's the same issue....

You didn't answer the question.

Sorry..I read it for .git directory...

.git's parent directory is owned by user who us issuing gitk command
and permisssion bit of 755 is set.

dm-laptop:~/repos/atria> ls -ld .
drwxr-xr-x 6 dm dm 4096 2009-01-18 23:28 .

dm-laptop:~/repos/atria> ls -ld .git/
drwxr-xr-x 8 dm dm 4096 2009-01-20 22:22 .git/

Any ENV variable I can set to debug this...?

GIT_TRACE can help.

I tried with that but it didn't help for gitk. But sure, it helps with
git command(s).
