Actually, I was looking on the wrong machine.  The machine I'm using 
doesn't even have that environment variable pointing to root, for the 
apache user.

In any case, I tried setting the /root/.subversion directory and its 
contents to world readable and writeable, but that didn't do any good... 
still getting:

     svn: Can't check path '/root/.subversion': Permission denied

... when I do the initial callup of "Version Control" from under the Horde 
"Development" menu item (doing this as the admin user).

Note that there isn't necessarily always a .subversion directory for root, 
if the root user never uses subversion (and why would anyone use subversion 
as the root user, especially on a publicly visible machine?).
