file vs http problems

I have recently been playing with subversion and have run into two
problems. Both cp and import fail to work if i specify http
urls but if i use file urls they work correctly.

import fails when i try to import a directory that will, after
importing, exist in the root directory:
 prompt$ svn import http://naboo/mike test
 subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:332: (apr_err=20014, src_err=0)
 svn: Error string not specified yet
 svn: OPTIONS request failed on /mike
 subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:306: (apr_err=20014, src_err=0)
 svn: The OPTIONS status was 301, but expected 200.

however it works when it is not importing into the repository root:
 prompt$ svn import http://naboo/mike/trunk test
 Adding test/yo
 Transmitting file data .
 Committed revision 8.

and it also works as expected when using file urls:
 prompt$ svn import file:///repository/mike test
 Adding test/yo
 Transmitting file data .
 Committed revision 9.

Once i successfully import files using file://... i can perform basic
operations like co,mv,add,rm without trouble with http. However when i
try to make a tag:
 prompt$ svn cp http://naboo/mike/trunk/ http://naboo/mike/tags/1.1
 subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:81: (apr_err=175002, src_err=0)
 svn: RA layer request failed
 svn: PROPFIND of /: 405 Method Not Allowed

the same message is given when i try to check out an entire repository:
 prompt$ svn co http://naboo/mike mike
 subversion/libsvn_ra_dav/util.c:81: (apr_err=175002, src_err=0)
 svn: RA layer request failed
 svn: PROPFIND of /: 405 Method Not Allowed

and this works as expected with the file dirver:
 prompt$ svn co file:///repository/mike mike
 ... (many files)
 Checked out revision 9.

There is a somewhat similar in symptom problem on the faq to my
import problem that boils down to a permission problem. I have double
checked and all files within the repository file tree are owned by
nobody which is the id that httpd runs as on my system. I have also
created other repositories from scratch and had the same problems.

I am using subversion/httpd head from 7 Oct 2002. My os is gentoo linux.

a relevant portion of httpd.conf:

<Location "/mike">
        DAV svn
        SVNPath /repository/mike
</Location>

thanks in advance for any assistance.
