Are you using the same version of the command line client and TSVN? Are
both 1.5.x versions?
And are you using both from the same machine?

why the '$' at the end? That could cause troubles...

You've specified "SSPIOmitDomain on" in your config file. You should
authenticate only with "myaccount", not with "mydomain\myaccount". And
of course, use a backslash if you do use the domain, not a forward slash.

'cannot generate context' usually means that your computer is not part
of the domain and therefore can't generate the sspi context required for
authentication.
