Hard to say with the information given.

Can you add a debug task before the subversion one to confirm that the 
vault encrypted password is correctly decrypted:

- debug: var=secrets.svn_pass

If you see its vaule is still in the encrypted form then, confirm if you 
are running the playbook with Vault correctly by looking at: link 
<http://docs.ansible.com/ansible/playbooks_vault.html#running-a-playbook-with-vault>

Also, you can add -vvv to the ansible-playbook command line to get a more 
verbose output. e.g.

ansible-playbook -vvv play.yml --ask-vault-pass
