That's not an error message; that's a path to a file. What's the
complete error message you see?

We have seen this error when not everyone has read access at the root
level.
In the conf/authz file, we had to add the following
[/]
* = r
Even though we do not use anonymous access. Not sure why but it worked.
I know you said you are not using the authz file but maybe you need
something similar in another file?

Muhammmad, I'm sending this message back to the mailing list. Don't
forget to reply all so your reply goes to the mailing list too, not
just to me. I don't use Windows or authz so I probably can't help you
personally; I was just asking questions I'm sure others will need the
answers to in order to help you.

Hm. Indeed, this screenshot of the TortoiseSVN "Log Messages" window
showing the log of "svn://udlhosr1/test/A.txt" does show only "E:
\1.6.5\subversion\tmp\subversion\subversion\libsvn_repos\log.c" in the
table at the top part of the window where one would presumably expect
the log messages to show up. When I asked you to post the whole
message, it looked to me like part of an assertion failure message,
but TortoiseSVN clearly doesn't want to show us the rest of the
message (which would tell us specifically which assertion failed and
where within that file it's located).

Ok, this screenshot of the TortoiseSVN "Log Messages" window shows the
log of "svn://udlhosr1/test" where revisions up to 10 are present, but
the author, date and message columns are blank.

This file contained the following text:

I assume C:\projects\test is a working copy checked out from svn://udlhosr1/test?
So here the error message for checking the log of a file is
different than in TortoiseSVN. Is the file actually named "a.txt" or
"A.txt"? On the command line you checked the former but in TortoiseSVN
you checked the latter. I realize Windows is case-insensitive but
Subversion repositories are not so it might be important to specify
the case correctly.

I'm not sure if this is a known problem. There are many issues in the
issue tracker whose titles contain the string "auth". You might look
through them and see if anything seems to describe your issue. The
ones that caught my eye were
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2712
(which specifically mentions the error message "svn: Item is not
readable" so this might very well be it)
and possibly
http://subversion.tigris.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2960

Ok, yes, I see you're using the svn: protocol.

Which environment variables are you thinking of?
