Please post your svnserve.conf file - we can't help you otherwise. You
might have something else done wrong, not the *-access parts.

TortoiseSVN uses the Subversion library. So if it doesn't work with
TSVN, it won't work with the CL client either (if we're talking about
repository access).

I think the best comment we can give you here: you should ask on the
Subversion mailing list (users@subversion.tigris.org). People there are
more familliar with server setup on Linux than we are here.
