your ssh process definitely picks up another version of svnserve. And
since the ssh process is started not from the command line but remotely,
you won't 'find' it by simply executing 'svnserve --version' on a normal
command line.

Check your PATH env variable, but not the one for your current user but
for all users, the ssh user or the SYSTEM user.
