I'm pretty sure auto-props is a client slide configuration directive not server side.

FWIW, some folks enforce this at commit time with a pre-commit hook. We just have a script that checks and syncs up the client's config whenever they download a new build, which keeps things mostly in sync.

Well, that explains it I guess! Since the documentation kind of lumped unix and windows instructions together, I took the following to mean that server administrators could enforce this. Thank you for clearing it up and offering your suggestions!
DOC: "In addition to the per-user configuration area, Subversion also recognizes the existence of a system-wide configuration area. This gives system administrators the ability to establish defaults for all users on a given machine...."

Yea, that is misleading to many people. "Global" means global to the workstation.... applies to ALL working copies on that machine. As opposed to "global" being all your clients.  It was certainly written by a Unix guy that has multiple users on a single HOST machine.
