Still, it's messy.

Try starting from

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerAdmin john.pye_at_anu.edu.au
        ServerName ascendsvn.cheme.cmu.edu

        DocumentRoot /var/www/svn

        # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error, crit,
        # alert, emerg.
        LogLevel debug
        ErrorLog /var/log/apache2/svn-error.log

        RedirectMatch ^/stats/?$ http://ascend.cheme.cmu.edu/awstats/awstats.pl?config=ascendsvn.cheme.cmu.edu

        #RedirectMatch permanent ^/$ /ascend

        CustomLog /var/log/apache2/svn.log combined
        ServerSignature On

        <Location />
                Order Allow,Deny
                Allow from all
                DAV svn
                SVNParentPath /home/svn
        </Location>

</VirtualHost>

And see how that would work.

Add new sections only when privious works stable (in this way, it will NOT
work without additional mumbo-jumbo. Why? Look my posts in archive)

I'm pretty much convinced you DO have Order or Deny directive affecting your
setup for those specific users somewhere in config.
