svn commit ignoring SVNParentPath

I am unable to do any commits to my repository over HTTP/WebDav. Here's the recreation routine:

~$ svnadmin create /data/repository/myproject
~$ chown -R nobody:nobody /data/repository/myproject
~$ svn checkout http://www.mydomain.com/repository/myproject
Checked out revision 0.
~$ echo "testfile" > myproject/testfile.txt
~$ svn add myproject/testfile.txt
A myproject/testfile.txt
~$ svn commit myproject -m "this never works"
Adding myproject/testfile.txt
Transmitting file data .svn: RA layer request failed
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: PUT of /repository/myproject/!svn/wrk/b73760d5-d2c4-0310-92a9-ab46eda3b27f/testfile.txt: 403 Forbidden (http://www.mydomain.com)

this corresponds to an entry in the error error_log as follows:

[error] [client 66.161.158.50] client denied by server configuration: /path/to/my/document/root/repository

and the access_log:

What gives? Here is the relevant excerpt from httpd.conf

<VirtualHost 12.23.34.45:80>
        ServerAdmin webmaster@mydomain.com
        DocumentRoot /path/to/my/document/root
        ServerName mydomain.com
        ServerAlias www.mydomain.com
        <Location /repository>
                DAV svn
                SVNParentPath /data/repository
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

Notice that the error log shows that apache is trying to access the repository folder under the document root, but of course, it is not there - why does commit try to access the repository in the document root whereas the checkout correctly looks to the repository parent folder pointed to by SVNParentPath? It has to be something obvious because people have done this before right?
