DIGEST-MD5 SASL SVN

i have setup my svn server to use SASL DIGEST-MD5, but i cannot get
authentication to work
i get an infinite loop of the authentication dialog prompting me for user
id/pswd.
 
=======================================================================
in my svn.conf:
=======================================================================
pwcheck_method: auxprop
auxprop_plugin: sasldb
mech_list: DIGEST-MD5
sasldb_path: /home/svnowner/sasl/sasldb2

=======================================================================
when i list what packages i have (shows md5):
=======================================================================
[root_at_host sbin]# rpm -qa | grep sasl
cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-lib-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-plain-2.1.22-4
cyrus-sasl-devel-2.1.22-4

 
=======================================================================
when i try to install the sasl-md5 (its already installed):
=======================================================================
[root_at_host sbin]# yum install cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-4

Package cyrus-sasl-md5-2.1.22-4.i386 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

 
=======================================================================
when i list the saslauthd mechanisms available (it doesnt show DIGEST-MD5):
=======================================================================
[root_at_host sbin]# saslauthd -v
saslauthd 2.1.22
authentication mechanisms: getpwent kerberos5 pam rimap shadow ldap

=======================================================================
everytime i try to connect via tortoiseSVN i see the following errors in my
log:
=======================================================================
Jul 12 23:09:37 host xinetd[1568]: xinetd Version 2.3.14 started with
libwrap loadavg labeled-networking options compiled in.
Jul 12 23:09:37 host xinetd[1568]: Started working: 2 available services
Jul 12 23:09:56 host xinetd[1568]: START: svn pid=7471 from=xx.xx.xx.xxx
Jul 12 23:09:56 host svnserve: auxpropfunc error invalid parameter supplied
 
=======================================================================
and im guessing that the errors are related to DIGEST-MD5 not being an
available mechanism?
 
can you PLEASE tell me how to get DIGEST-MD5 available for use in
authentication? ive been
looking at this for days and cant see what i am doing wrong. PLEASE HELP!
