Access forbidden when attempting to create a branch from the trunk TortoiseSVN

So I am attempting to create a branch of my project in order to keep the modifications I am making from effecting the trunk/src. However, whenever I tried to create the branch I get this message:

Error: access to '/svn/installer/!svn/act/86a58bed-75e1-be46-8f82-d479f2ba037c' forbidden

What exactly does this error message mean and what are the circumstances that tend to causes this error message to occur?

Also what can I do to fix this error and create the branch successfully?

Any help or advice to deal with this problem is appreciated!

Thank you in advance.

Clearly it's related to access rights so the first thing I would check is that you're sure that username, password and branch path are all correct including the case.

If you don't have any luck with this, try creating a new folder in the branch path directly from the TortoiseSVN repo browser. This should establish whether your identity actually has the rights to write to that path.

One of the above should answer your question.
