Can do all svn commands except commit, which won't authorize

Hello. I¹m totally new to this, so I¹m hoping I¹ve missed the obvious.

I have a repository set up on R-Forge. I am running Mac OSX 10.5.8,
subversion 1.6.5 and have SCPlugin installed. I have an ssh key set up and
working (originally with SSHkeychain which seemed to behave a bit flaky, now
with SSH Agent which seems fine). I¹ve been through the subversion mail
archives, and checked with the R-Forge admin¹s who aren¹t very familiar with
Mac.

Problem: I can do any svn command except commit, which gives me an error. I
do have something to commit:

bryanhanson% svn status
M R/HCA.R

But it won¹t commit:

bryanhanson% svn commit -m "testing commit"
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: Authorization failed

I can do other things, like make directories (and really most everything
else I¹ve tried seems to work):

bryanhanson% svn mkdir -m "temp test dir"
svn+ssh://bryanhanson@svn.r-forge.r-project.org/svnroot/chemospec/pkg/chemos
pec/test

Committed revision 42.

Everything I ask it to do at the repository is done, as judged by browsing
the repository. If I try %svn commit ­m ³msg² --username etc the behavior
is the same. I can and have checked out files. %svn status ­v returns all
the right info.

I have checked the keychain and it does not have anything related to svn in
it. I have inspected ~/.subversion/auth and all the subdirectories are
empty (which strikes me as strange). I did have some trouble with the ssh
system initially, but it seems to work now (and ~/.ssh has the correct
files, each with what seems to be correct content). I feel like the problem
is an orphaned incorrect password, or missing password, but I¹m not certain
and I don¹t know where it might be located if that¹s even what¹s going on.

I¹m quite stuck here, so I¹m hoping someone can help. TIA. Bryan
