Upgrading TSVN also updates the underlying Subversion libraries, so if you are
experiencing problems with TSVN 1.6.3 you should also see them with SVN 1.6
[.3] with the native Subversion client on the commandline. If this is the
case, the problem is not actually TSVN's but rather SVN's in general.
Further, if you are seeing the same problems with e.g. SVN 1.5 or TSVN 1.5,
you can also be sure that they are not caused by upgrading the client but
rather from upgrading the server side.

If the problem occurs, does it occur reproducibly or does it happen to the
same user on the same WC only sometimes?

I'm not familiar with Apache setup either, but I'd throw that error message at
a searchengine on the web, possibly spiced with "Subversion" as additional
search word.

Note: sometimes Apache runs as 'www' and not as 'apache', I think.
