Yes, this happenned to me too, but it gave a different error, "permission
denied" rather than "temporarily unavailable".
Thanks for the suggestion though. It led me to think more about
permissions, and I double-checked, and I have 777 permissions on
everything back to /data/svn.
Currently, the /data directory is owned and group owned by root with 755
permissions. I'm far from a permissions expert, but does it need more
than this, this far back?
Thanks again-
Robert
