OP claimed in IRC that the system Subversion (1.6.18 r1303927, I assume) works with the repository.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

This could possibly be fixed with the updated serf1 that is in macports now. Please upgrade your ports to the current versions (subversion is at 1.8.1_1 now) and re-test.

[danielluke (Daniel J. Luke)]

If it's not fixed, it's likely an upstream bug anyway - so you'll probably want to try the subversion mailing list(s).

updating serf1 and subversion fixed it

That looks like a problem with gnome-keyring and not with subversion.

Note that the output you pasted included instructions to follow for reporting a new bug.
