The reason for the problem is the difference in case between "server"
and "SERVER" so to work around it, use consistent case every time you
refer to your URLs. Probably lowercase for scheme and hostname would
be most likely to succeed.

This issue suggests the problem may have been fixed in Subversion 1.6
(client):
