This is covered by the FAQ:
        http://subversion.tigris.org/faq.html#plaintext-passwords

        First of all, notice that the directory which contains the
        cached passwords (usually ~/.subversion/auth/ on Unix systems)
        has permissions of 700, meaning only you can read them. Trust
        your OS to protect data on disk.

Can you confirm the passwords are actually world readable in youre case?
