Can you sniff the traffic with e.g. wireshark to see if this is a
network related problem?
You could also test from localhost - does it work without problems?

One known cause of the "Not authorized to open root of edit operation"
error is issue #2712 (which has been fixed in trunk, but not yet
backported to 1.4.x):
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2712

Is anon-access set to "read" in the repositoy's svnserve.conf file?
If it is, and you don't want to allow anonymous users, you can set it to
"none" as a workaround.

We're not using trac. We do have roundup running on the machine, but it's
not integrated with subversion.

Here's a generic rundown of the authz configuration:

---
svnserve.conf
---
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = /svn/svnusers
realm = My Repo
authz-db = /svn/authz


---
svnusers
---
[users]
UserA = 12345
UserB = 54321
UserC = 90210
UserD = 86753


---
authz
---
[groups]
main = UserA, UserB
sub = UserC, UserD

[repo:/]
@main = rw

[repo:/trunk]
@sub = r



Thanks,
Jason

You are getting closer :-)
You did not mention the trac version you use - could you do that,
please?
Also, you may post your authz file (anonymized, of course).

Just tried that. Didn't help, but, after doing it, I realized that the
problem has something to do with authz. I've got two groups defined, and one
group has r/w perms on the whole repo, while the other has read-only perms
on just one folder within the repo. Have the rules for this changed in
recent versions of Subversion? When I make perms wide open, everything works
normally (in both the old and new versions of the repo), but obviously I
can't leave it that way.

Thanks,
Jason

Maybe. I've never used bdb.
What if you export the repo in mention and import it into a FSFS repo?

I should also mention that I tried 'svnadmin recover ...' as the svn user. It
completed almost instantaneously, but made no difference.

Same issues from localhost. However, I have narrowed it down a little bit. I
use separate repositories for each project, but they all point to the same
svnusers and authz-db files. Only *one* of the three is exhibiting this
behavior. The other two seem fine. I use the Berkeley DB setup. Could there
be some corruption there or perhaps a write-lock issue of some sort?

Thanks,
Jason
