Hi,

first of all
Neels, thanks for the fast response

I already found out that subversion asks for the keyring password while the
keyring is locked. After providing the password, everything works fine, except
for the --non-interactive mode. So to me the problem does not seem to be the
locked keyring.

I will try 1.6.2 and the trunk version and report back later. This may take a
while, since i have a lot of work.

greets,
Christoph
