What is the root of the repository? [under which you will see files like db,
conf, hooks etc]. I am assuming it is MyMiscFoo.
What you specify with the access control file depends on that. Assuming
MyMiscFoo is the root of the repository, then [MyMiscFoo:/trunk] is correct.
And if MyMiscFoo is a directory directly below the root, then
[/MyMiscFoo/trunk] is correct.

I am guessing there is something wrong with the path based access controls.
I think ron is able to commit because the auth with [/] is working and rest
of the auth is not taking effect. Something not quite right with the all
the paths I think.
Would it be possible to show us the directory structure using "svn ls" for
each directory?
svn ls svn://localhost/
svn ls svn://localhost/MyMiscFoo
svn ls svn://localhost/MyMiscFoo/trunk
etc
Additionally, there was an issue with authz on Windows that is somewhat
similar to your issue http://svn.haxx.se/users/archive-2006-03/0057.shtml
I dont know whether whether it was really an issue or whether it was fixed.
Thanks,
