thats really strange, but have you tried to supply the username/password 
at the command line? there is an parameter for each of them and this 
should work.

svn uses an authentication cache stored in the subdir 
~/.subversion/auth/ in the users homedir. is there a corresponding cache 
file (usually in the dir svn.simple)?
