Comment(by maurits@…):

 I had the same problem and the workaround works for me too. This is on Mac
 OS X 10.6.8. Note that I use subversion 1.7, but have the same problem in
 1.6.

 The generic failure I get is slightly more specific than what the original
 poster pasted:
 {{{
 svn: E170001: Could not create SASL context: generic failure: No such file
 or directory
 }}}
 (svn 1.6 simply says "svn: generic failure")

 Indeed, what dluke mentions in the previous comment should replicate it. A
 simple 'svn ls' on a repo would suffice though.

 You do need to try it with a repository using the '''svn+ssh''' protocol.
 For example, this works fine:

 {{{
 svn ls http://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zopetoolkit/doc
 }}}
 But this fails:

 {{{
 svn ls svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zopetoolkit/doc
 }}}

 That last one is only available when you are a Zope committer and have
 your ssh public key uploaded though, so that won't help most people here
 who want to try it, sorry. :-(
 Again, the workaround fixes it for me.
