I tried this, I get exactly the same error message. svn-error.log
contains...

[Tue May 19 19:35:42 2009] [error] [client 128.2.52.249] client denied
by server configuration: /var/www/svn/ascend

This error is completely weird because it relates to
/var/www/svn/ascend, which doesn't exist and should NEVER be being
requested...

I appreciate your general approach but as far as I can see we're not
touching the root cause of this problem yet.

And I am still baffled as to why I could see this problem on some
machines, but not on others. We need to understand what things can vary
from machine to machine to cause this problem to occur.
