Where? You've supplied it to SVN commandline, some GUI frontend or you tried
it in regular browser?

I doubt it's a good idea to have repo name with spaces.

One extremely easy suggestion - just remove space from repository name.
Then users could just svn switch to new space and continue their work as

But, meh, it's interesting to know why you experiencing such issue.
