Make sure your server is running 1.0.1 if you plan to use "Satisfy Any"
and "Require valid-user" together.

You should be talking about paths *within* the pbAnalyzer repository.
In other words, the /svn/pbAnalyzer is the location of the repository
itself. Within the policy file, you should be talking about "imaginary"
paths within particular repositories. For example, if you want the
pbAnalyzer-dev group to have full r/w access on the entire pbAnalyzer
repository, then you should be writing: [pbAnalyzer:/]

Your life will be simpler if you make apache run as the 'svn' user.
