Have you read the documentation? ;-D
http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.4/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html

AFAIK, you need
[proj1:/]
instead of
[proj1]

Perhaps more importantly: is this the whole authz-file?! Where is group1
even defined?! You do have a [groups] - section, right? If you don't,
you just block access for everybody and this explains why (the
nonexistant) group1 cannot even checkout...

Good luck,

Holger

P.S.: If you don't need PATH-based authorization, but rather
"repository-based" authorization, this might be MUCH better placed in
Apache's httpd.conf!!
This can easily be achived with a single "Location" or "LocationMatch"
in Apache... (sth like "/svn/(proj1|proj2|projn)/")
Read the brown(ish) box on the page I linked above...
