Maybe this will help:

export SVN_SSH=ssh -l rfm -i ~/.ssh/your_key

Have you checked that using plink gets you an authenticated connection?

Incidentally, are you running any firewall software on your machine?  I've come 
across some which rely on the process name for permissions. I've also come 
across virus-scanner/security tools which don't play too nicely. Suspect them 
as well.
