New subversion setup getting "MKACTIVITY " error

Hey all, I have created a new (first one) subversion server using these
directions
http://davidwinter.me.uk/articles/2006/02/16/subversion-over-apache-2-on
-ubuntu/.
I can log into the repository but when I try to commit something I get
this error
[ERROR]
	mkdir -m "This is a test" http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/svn/TimTest
	    RA layer request failed
	svn: MKACTIVITY of
'/svn/!svn/act/4b702f2d-ae65-3846-9d0a-7c6b796986c6': 200 OK
(http://24.56.193.127)

	mkdir -m "Test1" http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/svn/test1
[/ERROR]
Not sure what to do here, I think that it might be a permission problem
but what do you think?

Thank you,
Tim

And I guess that means Ubuntu doesn't have an SELinux feature? (I  
have no idea here; I don't use Linux or SELinux.)

So then could you show us your <Location> directive?

Do you have any kind of proxy server in the way that may be interfering?

Maybe... are you using SELinux? If so, see this FAQ entry for setting  
up the permissions properly:
