CentOS - Oct 2008 - Problem with svn/apache

I hope someone can help me with this b/c I'm stumped...  I had set up an svn
repository a while ago with an apache/webdav front end using the default centos
packages.  For some reason this morning it stopped working for me - it would
give me a 403 error.  I suppose the problem is with Apache and not svn.

So far I've checked the following:
I use a couple of files called svn_htpasswd_file (for userids/password hashes)
and svn_auth_file (users, groups and permissions) - I verified the files were
still apache:apache and were user-readable
Just for grins I ran "chown -R apache:apache" on my repository home
directory and all repositoriesI made a new user entry in the two files listed
above with full admin rightsI restarted httpd and rebooted the serverI made sure
the httpd processes were running using apache as userAnd I've run out of
ideas.  Has anyone else seen this before?

Check all recently modified system logs.
If you have any virtual hosts configured
try to access you repository with a dot address.
Check and restore selinux context of your repo files if needed.
Try to access any of the subprojects under /repos directly.
to see if it makes any difference.
