Hmmm... if I do the command line specifying --username <ssh user> --password <password> I'll get a response like "Authentication realm: <svn://<server>:3690> some sort of key is presented and then I'm asked for a username. If I give it the username specified in the passwd db, then the incorrect password I'm told the password is incorrect. If I give it the correct password, I get an Authentication failed.
