Here's one of mine that I think I've minimally modded to fit your paths.  Could you try dropping that into place and see if it fails?  That would at least cut down the places it may go wrong (e.g. SVNParentPath...).  You'll need to htpasswd a new user into the "new" AuthUserFile.  Then try the /test and see what happens.

<Location /test>
        DAV svn
        SVNPath   /usr/home/svn/repos/<FIXME_TO_A_SVN_DIR>
        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Documentation Repository"
        AuthUserFile /usr/home/svn/access/users.new

        <LimitExcept GET PROPFIND OPTIONS REPORT>
          Require valid-user
        </LimitExcept>
</Location>
