This is a little perplexing.

First of all, the two makefiles seem to be from two different repositories,
is that right? One shows the the repository at c:\var\svnroot and the other
shows the repository at c:\var\svnhybridge.

This error message is typically seen when you don't have permission to do
commits/updates. The directory c:\var\svnroot or c:\var\svnhybridge should
be writable by the user running apache. I don't know how the permission
stuff works on windows, but you should make sure the apache user is able to
write to this directory. And the second thing that is a bit of a mystery
here is that usually the error message in such a situation will also tell
you why it failed. So in case of permission denied, the message will be:

svn: Can't create directory 'c:\var\svnhybridge\db\transactions\9467-1.txn:
Permission denied

I don't know a scenario where the reason for the error is not given.

Thanks,
