I assume you were following the INSTALL file? At the very bottom of
the file:

      Try doing a network checkout from the repository:

          $ svn co http://localhost/svn/repos wc

      The most common reason this might fail is permission problems
      reading the repository db files. If the checkout fails, make
      sure that the httpd process has permission to read and write to
      the repository. You can see all of mod_dav_svn's complaints in
      the Apache error logfile, /usr/local/apache2/logs/error_log.

Still, your FAQ writeup might be nice too. :-)
