Trouble setting up svnserve with authentication

Hi guys!

I have trouble with the new subversion. I have alreade running svnserve version 1.1 and configuring it is no big deal. But I want to switch to the current version, so I installed subversion 1.4.2 (from debian testing). I set it up, as usual, but I cannot log in with my username/password.
I'm wondering, if I have to make any changes to the new conf/authz file. At the time I don't need the new features the authz file provides to me, so I guess I can leave it alone.

The following steps lead me to my problem. Can someone please tell me the steps to solve it?

$ svn --version
svn, Version 1.4.2 (r22196)

$ svnadmin create svn_rep
$ vim svn_rep/conf/svnserve.conf //see files below
$ vim svn_rep/conf/passwd
$ svnserve -d -r svn_rep
$ mkdir proj1
$ echo content > proj1/file1
$ svn import --username someuser --password foobar proj1 svn://localhost/proj1
svn: No access allowed to this repository
svn: Ihre Logmeldung wurde in einer Temporärdatei abgelegt:

conf/svnserve.conf (without comments) :
------------------------------------------------------
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd
authz-db = authz
realm = testrepository
------------------------------------------------------

conf/passwd (without comments) :
-------------------------------
[users]
someuser = foobar
-------------------------------

I really hope someone can help me
