subversion error message

[plummer]

Hi All,

I am trying to connect from a windows machine to a remote subversion repository through Jenkins (latest version and latest Subversion plugin).  
I am going through a proxy and it is setup and working.  

Here is the error I get when Jenkins tries to validate the SCM url.

org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNErrorMessage: svn: OPTIONS /svn/****/dev/branches/*** failed

org.tmatesoft.svn.core.SVNException: svn: OPTIONS /svn/***/***-dev/branches/*** failed

Of course I enter in credentials....and still the error.  
I can however get to this repository with no problems outside of Jenkins.  So something within Jenkins and its SVN plugin is not letting me in.  

Anyone with any ideas is much appreciated.
