You have made this very complicated when it is really very simple.

First, do not svnadmin create /mnt/svn/root. There's no need for that
or the virtual directories you've put into it.

Simply create as many repositories as you like under /mnt/svn. Set up
Apache this way:

<VirtualHost *:80>
        ServerName www.example.com
        DocumentRoot /wherever
        RedirectMatch ^/repos$ http://www.example.com/repos/
        <Location /repos/>
                DAV svn
                SVNParentPath /mnt/svn
                SVNListParentPath on
        </Location>
</VirtualHost>

SVNListParentPath is available as of Subversion 1.3.0. There is no
equivalent for svnserve.
