I'm guessing at the problem here... but this might be your issue.

Some ssh servers will simply fail you if you try too many ssh keys. If you have a lot of ssh keys (even for other domains) this can sometimes be a problem.

Here is an example of this failing when somebody is not using tortoise: https://superuser.com/questions/187779/too-many-authentication-failures-for-username

Can you test accessing the system just using the command-line version of svn just to see?

Even just do an "svn list" on your remote path - and see what errors it gives you.
