I don't know much about the bindings, but you might want to try passing
the -i flag (simulate initial login) to sudo:

# sudo -i -u nobody perl ctx.mini.t

which will set up the environment ($HOME, etc) for nobody.

This will stop svn from looking in /root/.subversion for configuration
files, though it may not fix the problem you're having, because nobody
typically can't write to their home directory by default.
