Your /u10/~~~~~~~~/svnauthfile contains:
[Ents_0590_EA:2113:ELA Amd #5 - 340 BCDs:/]
That's parsed as:
repository name = "Ents_0590_EA"
path within the repository = "2113:ELA Amd #5 - 340 BCDs:/"
Which is invalid. (The path in section headers must have a leading
slash and no trailing slash.)
This is an instance of
https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.8#authz-fspath-syntax;
paraphrasing that:
Subversion 1.7 and earlier would silently ignore those sections of
the authz file; directives in those sections would never apply.
That's been fixed in this release: Subversion will now error out
if the authz file contains such a section.
It is not possible to escape colons in that context. You may be able to
rename the repository (or create a symlink to it and start using that).
And see https://subversion.apache.org/docs/release-notes/1.7#http-redirects
Cheers,
