Access denied error

I am attempting to do an import into a newly create repository.  The
problem is when I execute the 'svn import' command, I get a "PROPFIND
request failed ..." error.  I am running version 1.3.0.
 
Here is what I am typing in:
    svn import -m "[SETUP] Importing ir_cf_apps.access"
ir_cf_apps.access
https://$HOSTNAME/svnconfig/trunk/config/ir_cf_apps_conf/ir_cf_apps.access
 
When I do, I get the following output:
   svn: PROPFIND request failed on
'/svnconfig/trunk/config/ir_cf_apps_conf/ir_cf_apps.access'
   svn: PROPFIND of
'/svnconfig/trunk/config/ir_cf_apps_conf/ir_cf_apps.access': 403
Forbidden (https://rhsvndev)
 
The log files show the following entries when I executed the commands:
    [Tue Jun 13 09:41:53 2006] [error] [client 163.234.17.4] Access
denied: 'htaylor' PROPFIND
svnconfig:/trunk/config/ir_cf_apps_conf/ir_cf_apps.access
   [Tue Jun 13 09:41:53 2006] [error] [client 163.234.17.4] File does
not exist: /var/www/html/403error.html

I pretty sure that the root of the problem is that the user that is
being denied no longer exists on the server in question.  I'm just not
sure how to stop the server from looking for the user.  Any
suggestions?

Check the permissions of your repository, it should be writable by the group.
