Subversion Repository At Symlink

Hi,

Haven't found info on this one:
I try to set up a subversion server with apache, with some repositories living on a separate drive linked to by a symlink.
However, I cannot get this setup to work.
FollowSymLinks is set for <Directory /var/www/svn/>, the svn parent path; the symlink belongs to apache and the repository has been cp -a'ed to preserve all owners/permissions. The logs say

[Fri Apr 16 23:36:08 2010] [error] [client 78.86.217.64] (20014)Internal error: Can't open file '/var/www/svn/projects/format': Permission denied
[Fri Apr 16 23:36:08 2010] [error] [client 78.86.217.64] Could not fetch resource information. [500, #0]
[Fri Apr 16 23:36:08 2010] [error] [client 78.86.217.64] Could not open the requested SVN filesystem [500, #13]

If I log in as apache, I can cd to the directory and read format.

I've also tried to change the whole svn parent path to another location, to no avail.

Anyone an idea what the problem might be?

Thanks very much

Jonas
