SASL Problem: Could not obtain the list of SASL mechanisms

Hi, I'm trying to set up my first Subversion server, but I'm running into a
problem with SASL.

As long as SASL is disabled in svnserve.conf, I can connect to the repository
without trouble. However, as soon as I set "use-sasl = true" the client fails
with the following message:

"Could not obtain the list of SASL mechanisms"

I can't find out what is going wrong. Any pointers or solutions would be much
appreciated.

Sincerely,

.Bobo

Specs:

Server is running Debian 5.0, using the SVN and SASL packages from the testing
branche. Client is Windows 2000 using TortoiseSVN.

The svnserve.conf contains:

[sasl]
use-sasl = true
min-encryption = 128
max-encryption = 256

Turning off encryption made no difference.

The SASL config in /usr/lib/sasl2/svn.conf:

pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sasldb
mech_list: DIGEST-MD5

Trying other mechanisms (tried ANONYMOUS and CRAM-MD5) made no difference.
