What was your command line to checkout the repository? I'm assumming had
setup http://my.server.com/ as the repository itself (using SVNPath). The
you changed the configuration to use SVNParentPath? If so, then the location
of the repository has moved. Assuming the name of the repo was test, the new
URL should be http://my.server.com/test. You need to use svn switch
--relocate to rewrite the URL for the working copy.

If you changed the directive and nothing else, then I'd expect to see this as
an error. Your working copy still thinks the repository is in the old
location.

Uh, do you mean the repository below is '/data/svn/repos/test'?

If what I've said doesn't provide any insight, let me know. I've currently
got several repositories hosted at home using SVNParentPath and 16 at work...
none of which have ever had problems in this configuration.
