First. LDAP (authentication) is only 1/2 of the big picture. You will
still need configure authorization on the repo's themselves.

These may be of assistance in configuring authorization (depending on
your needs):
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz

Second, Its hard to help troubleshoot when you don't provide useful
information or a direct question. Was there something you needed help
with? I didnt see any questions other than "Can someone lend a hand in
figuring out what I have done wrong, or need to do?"

kind regards,
