Could not fetch resource information. [500, #0]

The following test fails:

 svn co http://localhost:97/svn/repos pcsmail81
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/repos'
svn:
Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

Here is the apache error log:

Tue Jul 20 13:45:53 2004] [error] [client 127.0.0.1] (200
14)Error string not specified yet: Can't open file '/driveb/svn/format':

 file or directory

Why is /format appended to my path?

Here is the relevant httpd.conf

<Location /svn/repos>
          DAV svn
          SVNPath /driveb/svn
      </Location>

and here is the filesystem

ls -ltr svn/
total 2
drwxrwxr-x 7 don svn 224 May 7 10:25 pcsmail
drwxrwxr-x 7 don svn 224 Jul 1 15:40 pcsmail81
drwxrwxr-x 7 don svn 224 Jul 1 19:04 pcsmail_v81
#

apache runs as nobody and nobody is a member of the svn group
