I am trying to create subversion repository mirror in a remote server using "svnsync" through command line and the actual repo is located in different remote server.I am able to access this repo from SVNSLIK, but not able to connect subversion of windows compatible

command: 

svnsync init file:///repository http://repoURL/trunk/repoName --source-username AAA --source-password PWD

Authentication realm: XXX

Username: AAA Password: PWD

Again asked username and password, even i entered correct authentication info, thrown error.

Error: svnsync:E215004:Unable to connect to a repository at URL http://repoURL/trunk/repoName

I escaped from the problem. In source server(where source code repository exists), subversion client with version - win32svn1.6 was installed. But in destination server, I installed win32svn1.8. May be this is causing the problem. So, I uninstalled win32svn1.8 (from destination server), then installed subversion client with version win32svn1.7. Now it working perfectly for me.
