This looks like you are accessing the repository with a file:// URL. This
access method requires full write access to the directory that the repository
is in. Since you said you edited the svnserve.conf file, I take that you in
fact wanted to use a svn:// URL. You might be able to use 'svn switch
--relocate' to point your working copy to the different URL.
If you are the one and only user, I'd omit the svnserve part, move the
repository to the homedir and keep using file URLs.
