Okay, so I know I'm not the Paul you were asking, but since the name
is the same, I figured I might qualify to answer :)

Configuration:
Server: Debian unstable
        Kernel 2.4.18
        Apache2 2.0.44-6

        # svn --version
        svn, version 0.18.1 (r5118)
           compiled Mar 3 2003, 07:24:38
        
        Copyright (C) 2000-2003 CollabNet.
        Subversion is open source software, see http://subversion.tigris.org/
        
        The following repository access (RA) modules are available:
        
        * ra_dav : Module for accessing a repository via WebDAV (DeltaV) protocol.
          - handles 'http' schema
          - handles 'https' schema
        * ra_local : Module for accessing a repository on local disk.
          - handles 'file' schema
        * ra_svn : Module for accessing a repository using the svn network protocol.
          - handles 'svn' schema

Client: Debian unstable
        Kernel 2.4.18
        mozilla 1.2.1-9
        

When I follow the steps outlined by Paul (Ctrl-E, change, Publish) I
get this in my Apache2 error log:

[Wed Mar 12 10:52:39 2003] [error] [client 168.159.31.5] (20014)Error string not specified yet: Berkeley DB error while checkpointing environment for filesystem /spare/svn/centera_web/db:

This I *DON'T* have, at least I don't think so. What do I need to
add to my apache config for this? Err, you also mention I need
Apache 2.1, and 2.0.44 is the latest in Debian sid :(

If it would help, I'll gladly compile from source and install that to
run on a different port if you need me to. Let me know.
