The problem was that client tried to read some information from repository root when performing remove folder. See SVN-4332 for more details [1] [1] https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-4332 But according to provided authz file 'alice' has read access to repository root, so it may be different issue. Anyway, your authz file allows 'alice' to remove /tags. -- Ivan Zhakov
