You should really run svnserve as its own user, but that's unlikely to
be your problem.

Try just connecting to the service manually:

$ telnet localhost 3690
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS ) ( edit-pipeline ) ) )

You might get a better error message. Also see if there is anything
logged by xinetd in /var/log/syslog, or wherever Mandrake puts the log
messages.
