CLI SVN LOG E220001: Item not readable

I want to restrict read access to a given respository to specific users, but when I do and I try to do an "svn log" from the command line I get an error message saying "E220001: Item not readable". I have read several articles that say you must give everyone read access ( * = r ) for the svn log to work. My repository structure looks like this:

/var/svn/Project1
/var/svn/Project1/branches
/var/svn/Project1/tags
/var/svn/Project1/trunk

/var/svn/Project2
/var/svn/Project2/branches
/var/svn/Project2/tags
/var/svn/Project2/trunk

What do I do if I have a group of trusted developers who are allowed to see all projects and another group of non-so-trusted developers who are only allowed to see their project? My authz file looks like this:

[groups]
dev1 = billy, chuck
dev2 = jim, bob

[/]
$anonymous =
@dev1 = rw

[/Project2]
@dev2 = rw

If I use this authz as is then the svn log command does not work. If I give everyone read access it works, but now the non-so-trusted developers can see projects that I do not want them to see.

I using svn, version 1.6.11 (r934486) on a 64-bit Linux machine. I am executing the svn log command from a 64 bit Windows 7 machine. I am not using httpd.
