Deny SVN Path Authentication, Harry Sally example not working

Question

I'm trying to deny svn permission on a subfolder as per svnbook example

[calc:/branches/calc/bug-142]
harry = rw
sally = r

[calc:/branches/calc/bug-142/secret]
harry =

So harry don't get access to secret folder. In my case, svn://repos/secret

[/]
* = r
robin = rw

[secret]
robin =

robin still able to access secret. I tried all forms [/secret], [repos:/secret], [respos/secret:/], but none worked.

Using svn 1.7.2 windows

in this case [repos:/secret], there **secret is folder inside repo repos** — Lazy Badger, Feb 24 '12 at 19:50
that is the problem, it doesn't work. I have tried different versions [repos/secret:/], [repos:/secret] — Robin, Feb 24 '12 at 19:58

If you use local file:// repository, not svnserve neither passwd, nor authz work.
