Confused subversion?

Hi,

I'm getting this error when I try to check into my subversion archive:

[Fri Nov 18 10:43:44 2005] [error] [client XX.XX.XX.XX] (20014)Error
string not specified yet: Can't open file '/var/svn/repos/error/format':

Here is my apache config for the subversion host:

I'm using the SVN repository http://svn.neuromancy.net/mantra/trunk

I can check out (and browse) just fine. The repository was created with
cvs2svn and uses a BDB backend. As indicated, I have multiple
repositories, each in their own directory under /var/svn/repos. 'error'
is not one of them (the above error came when I tried to check into my
'mantra' repository).

Something I found interesting though, it never asks me for a username, nor
a password when I supply a username, but I just think its breaking before
it gets that far. In essence, it looks like its looking in the wrong
place for the 'format' file.

And yes, the permissions on the repositories are correct (they're owned by
the apache user).

Some kind of explanation would be helpful.

PreZ :)
