You didn't say which version of Subversion that you are using, nor what
kind of repository you created (FSFS or BDB). You also didn't include
the contents of your svnserve.conf file. It's hard to help troubleshoot
your problem without this information. :-)
My guess is that you haven't set up authentication correctly. You
actually need two files: svnserve.conf and another (typically called
passwd that consists of name/value pairs).
For instance, my svnserve.conf might look like:
[general]
anon-access = none
auth-access = write
password-db = /path/to/passwd
realm = Test Project
and /path/to/passwd might be:
[users]
test = password
Finally, you're command line looks wrong. It should probably be 'svnserve
-d -r /path/to/repo'. You can't mix -d and -i, those are mutually
exclusive options (a newer Subversion would actually tell you this).
Other pitfalls to watch for are moving a BDB repository between OS's. You
should really delete the __db.* files from the repo/db directory and run
'svnadmin recover' on the repository from the new machine. BDB isn't
meant to be quite a portable as FSFS was designed to be.
