I just did:

 $ svn import -m "initial import" ~/Projects/pivot http://vixen.egcrc.org:8099/svn/tsakai

and it is not happy:

 svn: Unrecognized URL scheme for 'http://vixen.egcrc.org:8099/svn/tsakai'

I don't understand. But when I give:

 http://vixen.egcrc.org:8099/viewvc/tsakai/

to firefox it is perfectly content.

Can you please tell me what this means?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

This still won't work because you're still trying to access the
repository files directly, using a file:-protocol URL. Instead, access
the repository by going through the apache server that CollabNet
Subversion has set up for you, using the repository's http:-protocol
URL shown to you above.

$ svn import ~/Projects/pivot http://vixen.egcrc.org:8099/svn/tsakai -
m "initial import"

Ok. I'm afraid I don't know anything about SASL either, other than
that Subversion uses it. Maybe someone else here can help with this
part of the problem. Maybe simply reinstalling CollabNet Subversion
would help; I think it comes with everything you need to use
Subversion, including SASL.

There's no need to change the ownership of those binaries. You should
probably keep them as they were (owned by root, I imagine).
