Still looking for the source of my 403 errors Steve?
Any ideas please?
I have no need for path based permissions? It is advised against in
fact in the book?
I am sorry if I misunderstood. And may be you just followed the book
without reading the entire thing. The book clearly states as below:

On the opposite end of the paranoia scale, you can configure your block
to demand authentication from everyone. All clients must supply
credentials to identify themselves. Your block unconditionally requires
authentication via the |Require valid-user| directive, and it defines a
means to authenticate. (See Example 6.2, “A sample configuration for
authenticated access”
<http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.5/svn-book.html#svn.serverconfig.httpd.authz.perdir.ex-2>.)
*Example 6.2. A sample configuration for authenticated access*
<Location /repos>
DAV svn
SVNParentPath /var/svn
# our access control policy
AuthzSVNAccessFile /path/to/access/file
# only authenticated users may access the repository
Require valid-user
# how to authenticate a user
AuthType Basic
AuthName "Subversion repository"
AuthUserFile /path/to/users/file
</Location>
</snip>
So I guess my earlier suggestion should do the work for you. And I would be
more than happy to hear from you :)
Hi Dave,
you're correct. The path-based permission scheme is optional. Most
Subversion servers don't need it.

Steve
I do agree that path-based permission scheme is optional. :)
