This sounds like it's a problem with your routing table. Does:

$ netstat -r

show a destination of localhost?

$ ping localhost

is useful.

That's more hopeful. Don't know what's wrong though!

It was a few years ago that I setup my svn repository and I referenced
the book you're using too. 

I launch it out of inetd.conf.

I've got the line:

svn     stream  tcp     nowait  frank   /usr/local/bin/svnserve svnserve -i

in there. Fixed hosts.allow to only allow machines on the lan to
connect and it works well.

Sorry I can't be more helpful but a different approach to running a
daemon permanently is probably a good idea.
