password problems - Linux, SVN 1.5.0

I am a SVN newbie and long time unix/linux user and despite numerous and
futile google searches I can't find an answer to why I am having
problems using svn.

I have edited the conf files and can use svn in file:// mode on a
machine I'll call P3

 conf/passwd contains

[users]

becker=becker

I've tried it with

 becker = becker

The problem I'm having is after creating a repository, editing the conf
files when I am on P1 and issue

  svn import ctci svn://p3.corp.com/home/subversion/REPOS/becker - m
"initial checkin"

I see a response <svn://p3.corp.com:3690> MyRealm

Password for 'becker':

  I respond with becker and get

Svn: Authorization failed

If I am on P3 and issue a similar command using file: instead of svn I
don't have a problem.

I've issued rm -rf ~/.subversion on P1 without effect.

Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

All packages were downloaded within the last 24 hours.

Thanks,

Mark
