svn: MKACTIVITY 500 Internal Server Error

Hi

As I wanted to support several Subersion repositories. 
I shut down the apache2 servers, dumped  my repository at /var/svn.
Then I changed in
/etc/apache2/mods-available/dav_svn.conf
from 
SVNPath /var/svn
to
SVNParentPath /var/svn
After a svnadmin create /var/svn/admin I imported
using 
sudo -u www-data svnadmin load /var/svn/admin < /data.pm/backup/svn.dump
After restarting the apache2 server I was able to browse the repository and 
did a checkout into a fresh directory.
After changing a file I get the following error message:
svn: RA layer request failed
svn: Commit failed (details follow):
svn: MKACTIVITY of /svn/admin/!svn/act/854d091e-46c2-0310-ad15-e2b670a0feea: 
500 Internal Server Error (http://pm:8081)
In the apache2/error.log there is a similar line
 [client 172.25.1.52] configuration error:  couldn't check user.  No user 
file?: /svn/admin/!svn/act/854d091e-46c2-0310-ad15-e2b670a0feea
min/!svn/act/e9381cf6-45c2-0310-8bae-ee67ace5bc97
I found no clue in the handbook nor on the web.

What is happening? Any hints would be greatly appreciated. (please cc to me as 
I am not on the list)

Thanks in advance.

I'm hoping that you didn't do all of this when:

   mv /var/svn /tmp/svn-repos
   mkdir /var/svn
   mv /tmp/svn-repos /var/svn/admin

would have done the trick. :-)

Well, it looks like your have a "Require valid-user" or something in
your <Location> tags, but that your AuthFile parameter there is
pointing to a non-existing file.
