403 forbidden error

Hi all,

I have a repo at /home/svn. It used to contain only projects of my
company such as
/svn/projects/this/or/that

I decided to use the same repo for projects I develop for clients so
split it like so. (not two repos but two paths in one)

/svn/mycompnay/projects/this/or/that
/svn/clientcompany/paying/projects

The clientcompany side works fine but one of my company projects which
was dormant for a while gives me errors. I thought it might be because
it may have been checked out pre-split, so I did a svn co (which works
fine) to a new working copy applied the new changes and tried to
commit but I get..

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: OPTIONS request failed on '/svn'
svn: OPTIONS of '/svn': 403 Forbidden (http://mycompany.com)

I have setup only basic auth and am using dav_svn module. I generated
the passwords to
/etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd
I am using dav_svn.authz to specify which user has r / w rights.

Some excerpts from the dav_svn.conf...
<Location /svn>

  DAV svn

  # Set this to the path to your repository
  SVNParentPath /home/svn

  # Uncomment the following 3 lines to enable Basic Authentication
  AuthType Basic
  AuthName "Subversion Repository"
  AuthUserFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.passwd

  # Uncomment the following line to enable Authz Authentication
  AuthzSVNAccessFile /etc/apache2/dav_svn.authz

  # The following three lines allow anonymous read, but make
  # committers authenticate themselves.

  # <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
  Require valid-user
  # </LimitExcept>

</Location>

Any ideas why commits fail?

TIA,

bakki
