We have a few remote users who are unable to run "svn up" to an internal server 
in specific paths in a repository but can access others. The error is "svn: 
E730054: Error running context: An existing connection was forcibly closed by 
the remote host." The server is in the US and some of the users are in Russia, 
they communicate with the server over a VPN not using NAT. If they use Putty to 
create a SSH port forward to the server, they can run svn up without error.

The rule that allows traffic to traverse the VPN does not have any network 
filtering in place. I know this server has an OS release and software dated 
from 2011 and 2012 (details below), the httpd access logs don't show any issues 
(HTTP code 200 and 207), the error log is bare and does not show a relevant 
entry that shows why a sync was blocked or not permitted.

What are some suggestions on where I can look to better troubleshoot the issue? 
Would a packet capture help me identify what is going on? If so, what should I 
look for in the capture?

Fedora 15 (Locklock)
subversion 1.6.18
Apache 2.2.22
