Failed to create/acquire the lock ......lock.exclusive ([Errno 13] Permission denied

I have installed Debian Stretch and have installed borgbackup from backport (newest version).

First I have test a Backup on local machine. That works. Now I wan't make a backup remote.

For Understand:
SRVBackup = My Backupserver for all Backups
SRV1 = My Server for send Backup

My steps:
SRV01: Login as root, generate a key with Puttygen and put the "public key for pasting into OpenSSH authorized_keys_file" into /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

This Key from SRV1, I have insert in the same file on my SRVBackup

On my SRVBackup I have createt a new repo:
borg init --encryption=repokey /home/myuser/backups/SRV1

Now I test it:
borg list ssh://myuser@iptosrv1:22/~/backups/srv1

Result

ssh://myuser@iptosrv1:22/~/backups/srv1
myuser@iptosrv1:'s password:

Thank you. Im logged in with su
I have installed sudo and testet sudo borg list... with the same result.
Sorry but do I understand something wrong?

I have found my issue: I have send borg init with root and not with myuser
