F12/Subversion/httpd -- PROPFIND access denied

[Steven F. LeBrun]

After upgrading to Fedora 12, I installed and tried to set up a 
Subversion repository with mixed success.  I have worked out the bulk of 
the issues but one still has me stumped.  Hopefully, someone on this 
list knows the answer or can point me to a URL that does.

The problem is that I cannot get Subversion to work with Apache 2.2.  
Every time that I try to checkout the repository, I receive a 403 
Forbidden Access error.  To make matters more frustrating, if I access 
the repository using local access (file:///...) the command works.  It 
is only when I try to use HTTP/WebDAV access (http://localhost/svn/...) 
does the access problem occur.

Things that I have tried:

- SELinux enabled and disabled -- no difference.

- Various permissions and ownerships.
   -- The repository and Subversion directories are currently owned by 
apache.apache.

- Various settings in my subversion.conf file for httpd.
   -- When the <LimitExcept> section is commented out, the failure comes 
on the third
       "PROPFIND /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk  HTTP/1.1" request.  The first 
two return 207
       while the third one returns 403.  Using Wireshark, all three 
requests are identical
       barring numbers in the IP headers.
   -- When the <LimitExcept> section is active, the failure comes on the 
very first request,
       "OPTIONS /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk HTTP/1.1" request with a 403 
response.
   -- Both 403 responses contain the same reason: "You don't have 
permission to access
       /svn/Home/sfbooks/trunk\n on this server."

Any suggestions will be appreciated.
