Tagging does not work with the Subversion plugin

Question

I am using Jenkins 1.417 with the Subversion plugin. When I am trying to tag a build nothing happens. No message, no error, no tags created.

So, my question is - how to tag builds in Jenkins when the version control is Subversion?

Additional information:

When I am trying to tag a build without giving the credentials, the operation fails:

Tagging svn://dev-profiler/common/trunk (rev.65) to svn://dev-profiler/common/tags/Test-1

Which is good, because it is supposed to fail when no credentials are given. So the negative path is working as expected.

P.S.

Exactly the same problem is described here and on the jenkins issues site and on the respective google group. All to no avail.

P.P.S.

I realize that without logs little can be done, but one has to know the names of the loggers in order to activate them and thus generate the logs, which I do not know. If someone provides me with the logger names then I would gladly post the logs.

EDIT

I activated hudson.scm log to level All. This is what appears there:

03/07/2011 10:10:08 hudson.scm.SubversionSCM$DescriptorImpl$SVNAuthenticationProviderImpl fromProvider    FINE: global.requestClientAuthentication(svn.simple,svn://dev-profiler/common,<svn://dev-profiler:3690> Temporary Shunra Repository)=>null

Now, when I try to tag I see this error:

This is very strange, because I do provide the credentials...

Please edit this question to actually include the question. Do not send people offsite to read somebody elses question to even find out what you are trying to ask. — Caleb, Jun 23 '11 at 09:58
Also, it seems you already asked another question related to this. Since this one does not actually include the question I can't tell for sure, but it seems like they are asking about the same problem. Please just edit the first one to combine any useful data from this one.

I have edited the question. It is not the same question as http://serverfault.com/questions/283313/using-the-promote-builds-plugin-to-tag-subversion-repository-in-jenkins — mark, Jun 23 '11 at 12:45
again, please add a clear question to your post. I don't know what your asking! It should be really obvious, if you want people to help. — Coops, Jun 23 '11 at 12:52

How do you provide the credentials?

I had the same problem, due missing/wrong credentials. I followed the description in this page where described how you can change/set credentials for SVN-repositories.
