I don't have it defined. I have had no need to use the AuthzSVN, I just
loaded the module in case I decided to use it later and thought it was
odd that it interferred with my Auth-Basic locations. I will add a file
and see if it fixes that issue. This is the minor issue really, I can
live without authzSVN loaded.

I have not compiled Apache from scratch yet. I guess that is my next
step. I wanted to eliminate any configuration issues before I went that
route first.

I checked the server-info for the mod_dav_svn.c module and came up with
this:

Module Name: mod_dav_svn.c
Content handlers: none
Configuration Phase Participation: Create Directory Config, Merge
Directory Configs, Create Server Config, Merge Server Configs
Request Phase Participation: none
Module Directives:
     SVNPath - specifies the location in the filesystem for a Subversion
repository's files.
     SVNSpecialURI - specify the URI component for special Subversion
resources
     SVNReposName - specify the name of a Subversion repository
     SVNIndexXSLT - specify the URI of an XSL transformation for
directory indexes
     SVNParentPath - specifies the location in the filesystem whose
subdirectories are assumed to be Subversion repositories.
     SVNAutoversioning - turn on deltaV autoversioning.
     SVNPathAuthz - control path-based authz by enabling/disabling
subrequests
Current Configuration:
     <Location /svn>
       SVNPath /var/repository/
     </Location>

I think that the "Content handlers: none" line might be indicitave of
something wrong, but I don't know what.
