SELinux places it's error messages in /var/log/messages. Look for lines that
say "avc: denied".

For example, here's a line where http was denied access to an SSL certificate
I created.

Mar 17 18:33:15 tempds1-1 kernel: audit(1111102395.189:0): avc: denied
{ getattr } for pid=8901 exe=/usr/sbin/httpd
path=/etc/httpd/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt dev=sda8 ino=46506
scontext=root:system_r:httpd_t tcontext=user_u:object_r:user_home_t
tclass=file

The exe field tells us the application was httpd and it was trying to access
the file specified by the path field. The scontext field tells us the
security context of the application attempting the access, while the tcontext
field tells us the security context of the file itself.

See if you can find a line related to Subversion, specifically your problem
loading mod_davn_svn.so or libsvn_repos-1.so.0.
