I have had better luck with 2.2. I have gotten too used to using the command line client, so I am still using it for commits. I am also using SSHKeychain http://www.sshkeychain.org/ to handle unlocking my keys in my terminal sessions. I think XCode picks that up also. I am using a password for the key. I can get info from subversion and do comparisons and diffs, which didn't really work under 2.1
I tried SSHKeychain, but it made no difference for me - I still can't authenticate (the authentication dialog comes up with all fields empty - any ideas how I can get them filled in?). I have ssh set up so I don't need a password ro passphrase from the command line and every other svn client except XCode works fine. XCode works fine for local repositories, it's just svn+ssh which is causing the problem.
Actually it doesn't work for any SCM over SSH. CVS or SubVersion, it doesn't matter, XCode does not authenticate. I don't use sshkeychain since I have a secure environment: Kerberos works perfectly on OSX, and ssh does not ask for passwords, as it must :) Still, even with kerberized ssh, in console no problem at all (no password, if the credentials are good), but XCode gives a bad authentication.

Too bad. SCM must be enhanced.

I had similar problems with earlier version of XCode. I am not sure where it gets the authentication dialog information from. Well, it seems to parse the information from the subversion meta files, so I don't know why it wouldn't find it if all the command line tools are working. I agree though, the SCM isn't the most robust piece of XCode.
