Not yet. Corporate IT consider it my problem and that option is
definite *last resort* material *sigh*

I guess it means exactly what it says but I'll try looking in the source
once I've found it to confirm. I did find one comment to an article
that said they had problems with "AuthzLDAPAuthoritative" set "On" so I
might try turning that "Off" but I need to check the implications of
that.
Still no idea why this only applies via the svn client (either command
line or TortoiseSVN) and not when accessing the server using https via
IE8...
Thanks Daniel,
