Windows permission problems

Hi,

I am having trouble setting path based permissions. My Subversion server is
running on a Windows XP professional box. I am using svnserve, and NOT
Apache. I have verified that the server is respecting and looking at the
authz file, because the following was needed to access the repository:

[/]
@internal = rw

However, if I try to do set any specific path based permissions, I always
receive the "Authorization failed" message in the Repository Browser of
TortoiseSVN. Even trying to specify the root project folder, like so:

[/projects]
test = r

returns an "Authorization failed" error when trying to browse the
repository.

Setting permissions seems extremely straightforward, but everything I have
tried does not seem to work. Is there something obvious I am missing?

Thanks,
-k
