Ryan, First of all, let me offer my sincerest gratitude. Your latest email made very clear the "error of my ways". I thought the /format folder lived in the source folder with the /trunk, /branches, /tag folders. You now cleared it up for me that the /format folder lives under the repository on the SVN server. This also brings into focus other postings I found while surfing Google for the /format issue I was experiencing. As directed by the other postings, I set the permissions on the /format folder (for all my repositories) to RW for all mod levels and it corrected the problem.
Again, much thanks for the immediacy of your response and clearing up the issue for me. I do perform syncing across servers and am now getting the following: "svnsync: warning: W200007: Target server does not support atomic revision property edits; consider upgrading it to 1.7 or using an external locking program" I will work this, it is apparent that the versioning does not agree now between my updated local master-sync SVN server and the original remote slave-sync SVN server. Thanks again for all your help.

It tells Subversion what kind of repository it is. $ svnadmin create somerepository $ ls -1 somerepository README.txt conf db format hooks locks Do your repositories not look the same?
