I wonder if you have inetd running and intercepting these
connections--not likely, but you can check.
Have you gone through the /path-to-repository/conf/svnserve.conf
file and twiddled with any of the settings in there?
Check man svnserve.conf and man svnserve (there's a debug setting
for the server that might provide some clues as to why connections
are failing). Particularly, in svnserve.conf(5) is:
"anon-access = none|read|write
Determines the access level for unauthenticated users. write
access allows all repository operations. read access allows all
operations except committing and changing revision properties.
none access allows no access. The default level is read.
auth-access = none|read|write ..."
