Don't use autz-db until your problems are solved and I would suggest
to activate anon-access, too, just to get at least one successful
login.

What are the file permissions of passwd and under which user is your
svnserve running? Maybe it's just a permission problem on OS level and
svnserve can't read it's configuration files.

Which is totally correct if the first login attempt fails.

The authz contents doesn't lead to error messages, meaning
directories in your repo which you don't have any access to are just
ignored, wouldn't be able to checkout anything, wouldn't see all revs
in the logs etc. But I'm not aware of error message because of
forbidden paths. I would check file system permissions to your config
files for the repo and if svnserve can read all of them. Even try to
allow anon access.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
