The reason it works for you is that you have one repository whose
path is specified with SVNPath. Subversion is designed to show you
things inside the repository. Richard has multiple repositories, the
parent of which is specified with SVNParentPath. The directory
specified with SVNParentPath is not a repository, and Subversion <
1.3.0 is not designed to show you things that aren't in repositories.
Richard should not use SVNPath because he does not want to host one
repository; he wants to host multiple repositories.
You can of course write a (PHP|Perl|CGI|Ruby|Python|...) script to
read the contents of the directory pointed to by SVNParentPath and
output that as an HTML page, and indeed such a script exists (or
existed) somewhere on the TortoiseSVN web site for some reason, but
with Subversion 1.3.0 around the corner it's probably not worth the
bother anymore.
