Does "svn ls https://somedomain/repo"; prompt you for a username?  Does
repeating that command (after successfully running it once) still prompt
you? (it shouldn't prompt you again if you have auth caching on).

If "svn ls" is prompting you every time, then SVN auth caching is
somehow disabled/broken on you system.  You can try poking around inside
your ~/.subversion/ directory and see if there's permissions problems
or such...
