You can't svnsync to something that's configured with SVNMasterURI and
therefore trying to proxy the write requests to the master, can you!?

So shouldn't the svnsync be:

svnsync init --source-username svnsystem --source-password $pass \
  --sync-username svnsystem --sync-password $pass \
  https://versiontest1.divxnetworks.com/svn-proxy-sync \
  file:///data/svn

On another note (if practical) I can tell you that svnsync via the
svn:// protocol is _much_ quicker than via http(s).
