You are just running into a bug in Subversion's JavaHL library where it will
not create the needed area on disk that stores the auth cache. If you use
the SVN command line to run a command it will create this area and then
JavaHL will work correctly and cache or not based on your choice.
This has been fixed in SVN 1.4.3 and we should have a new Subclipse release
out this week which includes it.
