please help me with path-based access control setup

My svnserve is running on Fedora and I can access (checkout, update, ..) with svn://repository/.. without any issue from local machine and another machine.

I also setup user/password access control. It works great. Now I am trying to add path-based access control on top of it.

I enabled the "authz-db = authz" on the svnserve.conf file.
I tested with following settings on the authz file:

#=================
#[/home/svn/Playground/proj1]
#[/home/svn/Playground]
#[/home/svn/Playground/]
#[repository:/Playground]
#[repository:/proj1]
[repository:/*]
testuser = rw
$authenticated = rw
* = rw
 
but none worked. I always get this error:
svn: E170001: Authorization failed.

If I disable the "authz-db = authz" on the svnserve.conf file, svn immediately works.

My svn repositry is in /home/svn directory. The repository name is Playground. There are two projects there: proj1 and proj2.

When I try to do checkout with --username --password option, I was asked for password. After pass the name/password, I received the "svn: E170001: Authorization failed." error.

My setting in the authz file is not correct? or I need to change more configurations?

thanks,
James
