Yes, it is hanging off the root.

Here's the httpd.conf snippet (with password obscured).

<Location "/svn/">
    AllowOverride None
    order allow,deny
    allow from all

    DAV svn
    SVNParentPath /usr/remote/bu1/Data/COMPUTER/DATABASE/Development

    AuthName "Subversion"
    AuthType Kerberos

    KrbMethodNegotiate on
    KrbAuthoritative off
    Krb5Keytab /etc/krb5.keytab
    KrbAuthRealms MIDDLEEARTH.PRV
    KrbVerifyKDC off

    AuthLDAPUrl "ldap://uinen
radagast/ou=University,dc=middleearth,dc=prv?userPrincipalName?sub?(objectClass=*)"
    AuthLDAPBindDN
"cn=Tess.User,ou=KenmoreStudents,ou=University,dc=middleearth,dc=prv"
    AuthLDAPBindPassword "password"
    Require group cn=IT,ou=KenmoreCampus,ou=University,dc=middleearth,dc=prv
</Location>

It works with no problems using local repository! I'm mounting the
share via: mount_smbfs -u www -g wheel //jtaylor@bu1/data /usr/remote/bu1

And here's my nsmb.conf (with password obscured):

[default]
workgroup=MIDDLEEARTH

[BU1]
addr=bu1.middleearth.prv

[BU1:JTAYLOR]
# use persistent password cache for user
password=password
