The authz contents doesn't lead to error messages, meaning directories in your repo which you don't have any access to are just ignored, wouldn't be able to checkout anything, wouldn't see all revs in the logs etc. But I'm not aware of error message because of forbidden paths. I would check file system permissions to your config files for the repo and if svnserve can read all of them. Even try to allow anon access.
