I figured it would be some error like that. The svn command needs to
read data out of the .subversion directory in the current user's home
directory. When running under your web server, it thinks /root is its
home, but your web server is not running as root; it's probably
running as www or apache or nobody. Those users probably don't have
permission to read things in /root. One option might be to tell the
svn command where its home is, e.g.
<?php
$cmd = 'HOME=/some/place /usr/bin/svn list file:///var/subversion/
devfoundry/ 2>&1';
?>
where /some/place is a directory the web server user can read and
write, so that svn can create the .subversion directory there.
