I've rely heavily on svn but I could not get the svn task to work
either. Instead, I just use exec like this:

<target name="test" description="testing svn">
 <property file="svn.prop"/>
    <exec executable="svn" dir="${basedir}">
     <arg value="export"/>
          <arg value="${svn.url}"/>
          <arg value="--username=${svn.user}"/>
          <arg value="--password=${svn.pass}"/>
 </exec>
</target>


I know this isn't a solution, but it's a workaround that might help you
until somebody can shed more light on the svn task for us.
