Doesn't have to be a directory served by mod_dav_svn. In my experience, it can be any directory -- and it doesn't matter whether it is a plain HTML file, or a PHP file it will be serving. I am (now) using 9.04 64-bit Desktop edition and seeing this error. The same configuration file worked previously on the 8.04 LTS Desktop edition (still 64-bit). Might be interesting to see what Apache2/auth_mysql versions changed between those.
