The HOMEPATH environment variable (also HOMEDRIVE and HOMESHARE) may be
created when you log in to Windows, but not in all configurations.
The OP's problem is probably an extra backslash: HOMEPATH already starts
with a backslash so C:\%HOMEPATH%\Application Data isn't valid,
C:%HOMEPATH%\Application Data should work, or even
%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%\Application Data. Also quotes are needed because of
the spaces.
%APPDATA% is probably a better bet though, if that's what Subversion
actually uses as there's no guarantee that there will be any correspondence
between HOMEPATH and APPDATA.
