Auth failed running command from shell script

Question

I try to run following command from shell script:
svn checkout http://url/ --username user --password password --non-interactive --no-auth-cache .

It fails always with following error:

svn: OPTIONS of 'http://url/': authorization failed: Could not authenticate to server: rejected Basic challenge (http://url)

Here the call out of my script:
$(svn $command $url $auth --non-interactive --no-auth-cache .)

Running the same command from the terminal works fine.
What is the difference between running from shell script and terminal?

EDIT:
Here some version information:

Are there characters such as & in the URL? You should quote it with single quote ' character.
No nothing like that. The single quote lead into svn: '$url' does not appear to be a URL.
Oh... it's a variable. Try double quotes " then. Your question isn't telling us everything...

Check you are using the same svn binary in each case:

echo $PATH
which svn

And these lines before your svn call in the script and when you try it manually.

EDIT:

Maybe it's proxies. I guess show us the env output?

	Both outputs are the same. – CSchulz Aug 25 '11 at 8:17
	Yes I used the env varible http_proxy, but it doesn't matters because firstly it appears in both environments and secondly the webserver is in the same network and so the proxy isn't needed. Please write the next time a comment because I haven't seen your edit. – CSchulz Aug 26 '11 at 10:32
	@H3llGhost - sorry I thought my edited answer would pop up for you. – Douglas Leeder Aug 26 '11 at 18:31
