Clearly, you are using Authz. But you have *missed* out the
"AuthzSVNAccessFile" in your config file, which could be something like,

AuthzSVNAccessFile /path/to/path-authz-file

Hence your config file must look like:

<Location /repos>
Dav svn
SVNParentPath /srv
Authtype Basic
AuthName "..."
AuthuserFile /etc/svnauthfile
AuthzSVNAccessFile path/to/path-authz-file
Require valid-user
</Location>

path-authz-file is the file where you specify the path-based permissions
to the users.
Here is a sample:

[pac:/]
dpawson = rw
sue = r

Hope this helps you :)

Thanks and regards
