They're in fact both wrong...

Our config files are modeled after the format understood by Python's
ConfigParser. It uses a section named DEFAULT (note the uppercase!) to
look for values when expanding %(foo) forms. We don't support variable
expansion in our config files yet, though.

Now, while the section names in the files are case-sensitive, those in
the Windows Registry are not, so the top-level config key is being
treated specially. Josef, what you wrote under subversion/proxies was
getting parsed into the [DEFAULTS] section (yes, note the S; that's a
bug, too, being fixed...); but even if it were the [DEFAULT] section,
it's not the [default] section that the proxy code looks for. The names
are case-sensitive on lookup!

What Josef has to do is put the values in

    /machine/software/tigris.org/subversion/proxies/default
