MKACTIVITY 403 Forbidden with webdav proxy

I am trying to setup a webdav write-through proxy and am getting the
following error when I try to commit to the slave server:

svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKACTIVITY of
'/svn/PROJNAME/!svn/act/78f951f5-9794-4895-a7db-ac41259d71e7': 403 Forbidden
(http://svnslave.myhost.com)

Committing to the master server works fine. Checkouts/updates from either
master or slave work as well. Here's my situation:
  - master server is running Apache 2.2.3 and Subversion 1.4.3
  - slave server is running Apache 2.2.8 and Subversion 1.5.0-dev (from
r29213 of 1.5.x branch)
  - svn client is Subversion 1.4.6
  - all of the above running on Linux RHEL4

Googling MKACTIVITY turned up problems that made me think authentication is
suspect. We're using LDAP on both the master and slave server. Can you
guys take a look at the <Location> section below? It is for the slave
server, but the master's <Location> section is the same except no
SVNMasterURI directive.

Note that we are using SVNParentPath vs. SVNPath as most of the webdav proxy
tutorials use. Is that a problem?

thanks for you help,
David
