First off, that is a server error message so the problem lies with the
server not the client. You need to ask on the subversion users mailing
list.

You did what? So now you can accidentally delete the repository from
your network share? Nice. Never ever make a repository accessible to
anything except the repository server program (VisualSVN in this case)
if you value your data.

Using the same authorization data on those laptops, or different?
Did you try deleting your auth data and re-entering it when prompted?
(Settings->Saved data->Delete auth cache)
