path based authentication problem

I am having a problem getting any rules for any specific repo to work. I have spent quite a bit of time looking over the mailing list to see if there were any similar issues at the 1.4.x release. Can anyone shed some light on why my repo specific rules are not being recognized?

svn --version --quiet
1.4.5

Users are tunneling over ssh to access the repository.

The following does not allow me to checkout, commit, list, etc:

[docs:/]
hermanr = rw

However this allows me to perform any operation:
[/]
hermanr = rw

If I do the following, I can read but not write

[/]
hermanr = r

[docs:/]
hermanr = w

My auth file is named docs_auth and exists at /svn/docs_auth.
My repo exists at /svn/docs.
I have my svnserve.conf file in /svn/docs/conf/svnserve.conf.
The svnserve.conf file looks like this:
[general]
authz-db = /svn/docs_auth

Command I am using to checkout:
svn checkout svn+ssh://hermanr@server/svn/docs

Error message:
svn: Authorization failed
