I was testing the GNOME keyring in 1.6.1 and I must say that it showed quite
confusing behaviour when the keyring was still locked. AFAIR things were
fixed later on...

In particular, if the GNOME keyring is still locked, Subversion *has* to
interactively ask for the passphrase to unlock it, otherwise it won't have
access to the stored password. Maybe that's the problem there.

If it is, we should add an error message that states "Sorry, keyring is
locked and can't ask for passphrase in non-interactive mode."

If it isn't, that's probably a bug. However, can you try 1.6.2 first, or
even trunk, before we go off investigating?
