Ah ok, now I start to understand what you want: you just want only that FP-Development group to have access (reading and writing) to the repository, and anyone else should have no access (no read, no write). Then forget about the Limit and LimitExcept (those are for making a difference between reading and writing, but you want to restrict both reading and writing the same way, so ...).

It's actually what Jason Malinowski suggested in the very first post - just do it like this (require anyone who accesses /zorch to be in the FP-Development group):
<Location /zorch>
    DAV svn
    SVNPath /disk01/home/zorch
    AuthType Basic
    AuthBasicProvider ldap
    AuthzLDAPAuthoritative off
    AuthName "Subversion Repository"
    AuthLDAPBindDN CSCNET\svnaccount
    AuthLDAPBindPassword svnpasswd
    AuthLDAPURL ldap://servername:3268/DC=domainname,DC=com?samAccountName?sub?(objectCategory=person)
    Require ldap-group CN=PRJ FP-Development,OU=U.S.,OU=Groups,DC=domainname,DC=com
</Location>

About the quotes, those should be around the entire DN, not just the value of the CN. But again, I'm not sure if it's really needed, first try without them. If it doesn't work and you need to add them, the line should look like this:
    Require ldap-group "CN=PRJ FP-Development,OU=U.S.,OU=Groups,DC=domainname,DC=com"

Also, I'm not sure whether this matters, but in my httpd.conf the "dav" is in uppercase, so "DAV svn".

Regards,
Johan
