I'm not sure what that error means... somethimg is denying your.. but
I'm not sure if it's local file permissions, local firewall remote
rest of connection etc.

Also note that you shouldn't use http://svn.freebsd.org as that means
you are being redirected to svn0.us-west.freebsd.org using netcat...
This at least increases the risk of something going wrong.

See: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/mirrors-svn.html for
current list of mirrors.
