Hmm, I just had to deal with the same kind of error. A checkout from a remote
linux box did work, but not from the solaris system (the system with the
apache). Strangely enough, updating an already checked out repository was possible.
After some digging, the problem turned out to be a password longer than
8 chars. Deep in the apr routines, the getpass() function is called, which under
solaris only uses 8 characters (or, more precisely, PASS_MAX), but under linux
more.

Hope this helps.
