[JENKINS-7639] SVN "authentication cancelled" despite deletion of Subversion\auth folder

We test on VMs that are reset each night. The first command line SVN checkout to one of our platforms fails as follows:

I've tried deleting the subversion\auth folder and saving authentication credentials on the VM and making this persistent, but the initial checkout still fails.

I would like to avoid having "sacrificial" jobs whose only purpose is to let SVN fail.

Is there a solution to this problem?

Thanks,
