Initial import problems

I'm trying to setup a repository on my desktop machine using this article from MacDevCentre:

<http://www.macdevcenter.com/pub/a/mac/2004/08/10/subversion.html>

Everything goes as expected except for the initial import, on entering the following:

svn import -m "Importing project dmanews" /Library/WebServer/Documents/myproject/ http://127.0.0.1:8800/subversion/myproject/trunk

... I get this response:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/subversion'
svn: PROPFIND of '/subversion': 301 Moved Permanently (http://127.0.0.1:8800)

In httpd.conf I have:

<Location /subversion>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /usr/local/apache/htdocs/subversion
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /usr/local/apache/etc/svn-auth-file
  Require valid-user
</Location>

Authentication works when addressing via http:// and passwords are accepted just before the import fails.

I've done a couple of hours googling and double checked everything stated in the article but can't get to the root of it.

Is this indicative of a simple, easily answered problem or deep, requiring a full disclosure of every conf setting and component version number?

Regards
