SVN web dav issue

Im currently having an issue where when I create a repository its fine. All the stuff gets created however I run into an issue when using the command line to checkout/mkdir etc to this repository

> svn: Repository moved permanently to 'http://example.org/reponame'; please relocate

Which than nothing happens. After some reading there is something wrong with my configuration but for the life of me cannot workout what. Before I post that though this is where I get a little bit confused as to what the issue is. When using subclipse in Eclipse, I can checkout this newly created repo and commit stuff to it (no errors in the log) and checking the repo URL this all seems fine :?

Here is my configuration for svn

 <macro svn="" $subdomain=""><virtualhost 1.2.3.4:80="">ServerName svn.somedomain.com:80
    DocumentRoot /var/svn

        CustomLog /path/to/logs/access.log combined
        ErrorLog /path/to/logs/error.log

        LogLevel warn

        RewriteEngine On
        RewriteLog /path/to/logs/rewrite.log
        RewriteLogLevel 3

        <directory var="" svn="">
                Options Indexes FollowSymLinks MultiViews
                AllowOverride All
                Order allow,deny
                allow from all
        #</directory>

    # <location>DAV svn
        SVNParentPath /var/svn

        AuthType Basic
        AuthName "Welcome message"
        AuthUserFile /path/to/file
        Require valid-user

    #</location></virtualhost></macro> 

Im guessing its got something to do with the SVNParentPath being identical to the DocumentRoot however Ive had no issue with this on another server (mind you its a slightly different set up so probably the reason why).

However Im unsure on what the actual issue is, can someone shed some light on what I can do
