The implication was that for some reason a Subversion distribution hard-codes the name of the home directory parent path (e.g. "/home"). No problem with my home directories; the arrangement is identical. On both machines my home directory is /data/andy and /home/andy is a symbolic link to /data/andy.

Is there perhaps a second (older) copy of Subversion or its libraries installed, perhaps provided by your distribution? If so, try uninstalling that.
