Now it's clear what's going on.

You have to give
others the permission to change into your home directory.
You should chmod 0755 your /home/bruno directory, cause you don't allow
any other user to change into your home directory.
You have created a user svnadmin and run the xinetd with that user, but
you don't allow any user to go into your home directory.

First you should change your home directory (for testing) to the above
(chmod 0755 /home/bruno) and try it again.

After that you should change the user of the entry for xinetd into e.g.
"bruno" instead of svnadmin and test this...
