n00b: unable to access remote SVN repository...

hi all,

i know this question has been posed because i searched the archives
and Googled, but i'm unable to find a solution. please feel free to
reply "RTFM" as long as you can point me to the relevant sections or
an external link. :)

our Ops dept. recently installed SVN 1.4.3 on a RH Linux box for us to
configure since we're finally moving away from VSS. i have a local
SVN repository that i've been playing with for a couple weeks now and
haven't had any problems with it. but i have been accessing that
repository directly using the 'file://' URL.
we have Apache2 setup and configured on the RH Linux box to handle our
SVN traffic. the three required modules are loaded in Apache's
httpd.conf file:

LoadModule dav_module modules/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module modules/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module modules/mod_authz_svn.so

i also have a location directive set up:

<Location /svn>
  DAV svn
  SVNParentPath /hns/scm/repository
  SVNListParentPath on
</Location>

the permissions on the /hns/scm/repository directory are 775 and the
apache user is a member of the group able to access those directories.
 the 'repository' directory is meant to contain several repositories,
each of which are also set up with 775 permissions.

i'm able to access http://10.35.2.29/svn via the web browser. i see
the 'RSA' repository that i created using 'svnadmin create RSA';
however, when i click on the RSA link i get the error:

<D:error>
  <C:error/>
  <m:human-readable errcode="160029">
    Could not open the requested SVN filesystem
  </m:human-readable>
</D:error>

i've tried adding another location directive to my httpd.conf file
under the first:

<Location /RSA>
  DAV svn
  SVNPath /hns/scm/repository/RSA
</Location>

but this doesn't seem to help.

from my local command line i've tried to 'svn import *
http://10.35.2.29/svn/RSA' & 'http://10.35.2.29/RSA', as well as 'svn
add * [url]' with the following error:

svn: PROPFIND request failed on /svn [or /RSA, depending on the URL i tried]
svn: Could not open the requested SVN filesystem

on the server i do see the 'conf/, dav/, db/, format/, etc...'
directories in the RSA repository i created. each of these
directories have 775 permissions as well.

i should mention that my local machine is a WinXP/SP2 and i do have
svn 1.4.3 installed locally, so the client and server versions are the
same.

any thoughts? suggestions? links aside from the svnbook?
much appreciated.

andy
