You have to specify (in addition):
[/]
me = r
AFAIK this is supposed to be a bug which will be corrected
in an upcoming version (you can find some posts about this
in the users and the dev mailing lists).
If you don't want to be able to read folders other than
/svnrepo/clientname you also have to say
[/otherfolder_1]
me =
[/otherfolder_etc]
me =
Hope this helps.
