RE: Couldn't determine absolute path

The commands that are failing are these:

svn copy http://localhost/Test/repo/test2/
http://localhost/Test/repo/test3/ -m ""
svn move http://localhost/Test/repo/test2/
http://localhost/Test/repo/test3/ -m ""

I did a little more testing and found that if the repository is stored
locally on the server along with Apache and Subversion that everything
works okay, which points back to maybe some type of network permissions
issue maybe? I know you can't store Berkley DB repositories on the a
network, but I'm using FSFS.
