If the repository is located at /var/lib/gforge/chroot/svnroot/testpre1, and
you're using the root_parents configuration option to expose it via ViewVC,
then ViewVC is going to use "testpre1" as the name of the root.  But you
don't have any access rules in your svnauth.conf file that refer to the root
named "testpre1", only "test1".
