Ok, I am guessing you are on a linux box and you have not set up or configured svn to use one of the authentication stores that is supported. Since you then tell it to NOT store the password unencrypted and it can't do it the authentication fails.

I'm not quite sure why it doesn't authentication and not store the password at all.

Can you authenticate if you answer Yes to the "Store password unencrypted" prompt?

Sorry, I don't use Linux so I think someone else will have to chime in, I could be way off.
