authentication problem from xcode on remote machine

I'm new to subversion so I hope there is a simple solution for this.

I setup subversion on a Mac running OS X Tiger. I can connect to my
repository great from XCode on that machine. I can commit changes no
problem and all that.

I also started the svnserve as a daemon so I can access my repository
from a remote client. I'm not using SSH as this is all being done on
my local network.

On my remote client (a Mac laptop running OSX Tiger as well), I
installed subversion and successfully checked out my project using an
svn:// address.

I then open the project in XCode on the remote client and it opens
fine. I then make a change to a file and try to commit the change to
svn but get an authentication error. XCode reports back with an alert
panel saying:

====
SCM Error

Authentication realm: <svn://1.2.3.4:3690>
2595dea3-0a4d-4866-ba9f-932ec6e75d5c
Password for 'MARK':
Authentication realm: <svn://1.2.3.4:3690>
2595dea3-0a4d-4866-ba9f-932ec6e75d5c
Username: svn: Commit failed (details follow):
====

There are no more details that "follow".

However, if I open Terminal and issue "svi ci", it prompts for my
password, I enter my password, and it commits fine.

It seems to be that XCode just isn't prompting for a password and thus
it doesn't authenticate. What can I do to get XCode to authenticate
properly?

I have my svnserve.conf file setup as follows:

[general]
anon-access = read
auth-access = write
password-db = passwd

I'm not using the authorization file option.

My passwd file looks like this:

[users]
MARK = mypassword

That's about it.

Anyone have any ideas for me?

Thanks,
Mark
