svnserve and xinetd

Hi,
Running Subversion 1.0.0 on Mandrake 9.1 and having trouble getting
svnserve to work with xinetd.
Added the following lines to /etc/services:

svn 3690/tcp # Subversion
svn 3690/udp # Subversion

and have file /etc/xinetd.d/svn:

service svn
{
    disable = no
    socket_type = stream
    protocol = tcp
    wait = no
    user = root
    instances = 1
    port = 3690
    server = /usr/bin/svnserve
    server_args = -i -r /xxx/yyy/repos
}

Trying to checkout project 'zzz' with:

svn checkout svn://localhost/zzz

Produces an message:

svn: Connection closed unexpectedly

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

PS. if svnserve is started manually with svnserve -d -r /xxx/yyy/repos
then the checkout works
