The user which your httpd process runs as must have both read and
write access across your entire Subversion repository.

I hit this error (on Linux) when I created the repository as the unix
user "dlr", but was running my httpd daemon as the unix user "nobody"
(who had no unix permissions allowing access to the repository).

A big thanks to Sander Striker for helping me out with this one @
ApacheCon.
