I tried without anything and still no good

[/DEF]
@dev = 
@dev1 = rw


I have setup a test repo called sandbox with some subdirectories. Here is my 
authz file minus all the commented out lines:

[aliases]

[groups]
dev = rcrespo, test
dev1 = test
qa = qagroup

[/DEF]
@dev = 
@dev1 = rw

[/]
@dev = rw
@qa = r

I am still able to commit files in the DEF directory using the rcrespo login.
