cant get subversion to run - 403 Forbidden error

Good morning,

i am trying to setup subversion with on a suse linux 9.2. since xx hours -
without success.
I can open the url in the webbrowser and get

Revision 0: /
(see at: http://healthnet.umit.at/svn/)

  ... which looks good.

But i am not able to import anything.
If i do

> svn import /tmp/bla http://healthnet.umit.at/svn/bla

i get an error "svn: MKACTIVITY of
'/svn/!svn/act/61089720-2603-0410-990d-ee87f3188110': 403 Forbidden
(http://healthnet.umit.at)"

The apache error_log shows " client denied by server configuration:
/home/healthnet/public_html/svn"

WHY IS THAT ????????? HAS IT SOMETHING TO DO WITH THIS PATH (WHICH DOES NOT
REALLY EXIST and comes from the location element within the virtualhost
container of the apache conf - the real location is /var/data/svn/myproject)
(see below)!!)

Here is in detail what i did:

- installed subversion 1.2.3 (and dependencies)
- created a repository
    mkdir /var/data/svn/myproject
    svnadmin create /var/data/svn/myproject
    chgrp -R www /var/data/svn/myproject (the group of apache is www)

- included the mod_dav_svn.so and modified the apache2 conf (within the
virtualhost container

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /var/data/svn/myproject
# AuthType Basic
# AuthName "svn repo"
# AuthUserFile /etc/svn/.svnauth
# Require valid-user
</Location>

DOES ANYONE HAS AN IDEA???

Thanks, Thomas
