svn is working fine here against Apache2 running SSH. This looks to me 
like a problem with the server, not the client. My suggestions for 
debugging are:

  1. Hit the URL with your web browser and check if it works.
  2. Try another, Windows-based client (e.g., TortoiseSVN) to
     see if that works.
  3. Try switching to serf using this switch to svn:
     --config-option servers:global:http-library=serf

If those ideas don't help, there are these shots in the dark:

  1. Switch your HOME directory to a path without a space.
  2. Remove (or move) ~/.subversion
