Are you sure that's the right svn URL?  I have rc1, not live-branch, 
installed, but if I'm reading the gentoo/kde overlay ebuilds correctly, 
they use:

svn/://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/4.8/kdeadmin

IOW, try inserting a (lowercase) kde/ in the path between home/ and 
branches/.

(FWIW, it wasn't exactly easy to figure that out, either, as the path 
used multiple variable substitutions and I had to figure out where each 
one was defined... with no direct "admin" defined anywhere, so I had to 
find the defaults... across multiple functions defined across four 
different ebuild/eclass script files!)
