As seen in my original mail I had already set the owner and group of
the subversion dir to the same as apache is running as. After som more
research I found that the problem was SELinux running, and it did in
some way restrict the permissions regarding apache. After having
temporarily turned of SELinux using "setenforce 0" all worked
flawlessly
Thanks for the quick answers! love to see an active forum such as this.
