I have set up subversion to run with apache.
Versions:

apache-2.2.4_2 
subversion-1.4.4_1


I can connect remotely to the server, using name|password combination appears 
to work fine. This is a new repository as can be seen from the output of the 
svnlook. An initial import attempt from the client fails with the client 
reporting" RA Layer request failed"and "403 forbidden" error from the server.

Clearly I have something wrong in my set up. Can anyone point me in the right 
direction?

I have chosen to use an SVNParentPath configuration for multiple repositories 
to exist under the same "root" with all repositories sharing the same 
AuthzSVNAccessFile. 
I have made all repository paths owner:group www:www

I have made no changes to the files created by the svnadmin create command.
 
1. Here are my entries in  hhtp.conf
##### Modules include
LoadModule dav_module libexec/apache22/mod_dav.so
LoadModule dav_svn_module     libexec/apache22/mod_dav_svn.so
LoadModule authz_svn_module   libexec/apache22/mod_authz_svn.so
##### Location entry:
<Location /svnhome>
        DAV svn
        SVNParentPath /usr2/svnhome
        SVNListParentPath on
# Access control Policy
        AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/local/etc/apache22/Authz_svnhome

# try anonymous access first, resort to authentication
# if necessary
        
        Require valid-user
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Svn Repository"
        AuthUserFile /usr/local/etc/apache22/svn-auth-methusela_02
        
</Location>
CustomLog       /usr/local/etc/apache22/svn_logfile "%t %u %{SVN-ACTION}e" 
env=SVN-ACTION

2. My AuthzSVNAccessFile
#####
AuthzSVNAccessFile /usr/local/etc/apache22/Authz_svnhome
[/]
* = r
[/usr2/svnhome]
* =r
[project_meth: /usr2/svnhome/project_meth]
david = rw
