I see. So, you are running the daemon then closing your ssh connection. Are you sure that keeps the deamon running. I'm not much of a Linux guy.
That said... are you sure your hoster has the port that svn needs open. Is this a shared server or a dedicated server or what? I'm not sure why you would get an auth failure. It is prompting for the username and password? Or are you just passing them.
If you use svn.exe while you are in the ssh session does that work?
