This sounds like a proxy problem to me. Are they using an HTTP proxy?
If so, does it support the extra methods that Subversion needs in order
to function?

e.g. for Squid, the squid.conf file should include:

extension_methods REPORT MERGE MKACTIVITY CHECKOUT

See the FAQ.

They could also try https instead of http, since the proxy would never
see the request methods then :)
