I´m getting this error while trying to commit to a svn repository:
svn: MKACTIVITY of '/svn/Demo/!svn/act/e2e65cfa-...4165f': 403 Forbidden (http://svn....com:8088)
Any idea why? I googled a lot, but cannot find a solution that works for me.

Check if you supplied the correct credentials or you have enought rights to reach that repo (usually looking at authz files, if you can manage the server config). As one commenter said above is a permission problem.
This can also happen if the user places a space at the end of their username. Our setup is svn via http in apache. If a user places whitespace at the end if their username, it will get trimmed and apache will pass the auth though. However svn will fail to find the username and you will get this rather cryptic error.
It can also happen due to an odd url case problem. Windows does not make a difference in filesystem case, but svn does (even when running on windows). See some info on this here.
The 403 Forbidden error happened after I modified the .htaccess to limit request methods with:
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} !^(GET|HEAD|POST|PROPFIND|OPTIONS|PUT)$ [NC]
RewriteRule .* - [F,NS,L]
Just had this happen to me using Eclipse with the Subversive plugin. Performing a Team>Cleanup on the project fixed it.
