svn: PROPFIND of '/svn': 403 Forbidden

I am running centos 4. I installed apache 2 with ssl. I installed
subversion.
I created a repository in /var/www/svn. I changed the owner to
apache.apache.
I tried configuring for ssl only with Authorization. I seemed to be able
to loging and get authorized but i keep getting these errors when i try to
import a test project like so:

$ svn import test http://xx.xx.xx.xx/svn -m "test initial import"
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn'
svn: PROPFIND of '/svn': 403 Forbidden (http://xx.xx.xx.xx)

I tried this with ssl, without ssl, with authentication and without. I
currently have no authentication set up and got the error above. I am
configured like so:

<Location /svn>
   DAV svn
   SVNParentPath /var/www/svn
</Location>

When i tried to import locally it seemed to work.
# svn import project file:///var/www/svn -m "prj initial import"
Adding project/trunk
Adding project/trunk/file.java
Adding project/branches
Adding project/tags
Adding project/tags/release1
Adding project/tags/release1/file.java

BUt then when i try to check it out through the network it gives me a
similar error:

$ svn checkout http://xx.xx.xx.xx/svn/project
svn: PROPFIND request failed on '/svn/project'
svn:
Could not open the requested SVN filesyste

I thought i had a pretty vanilla setup but i must be doing something dumb.
 Help appreciated.
thanks
