svn+ssh continues to confuse on Mac OS X

I can say I no longer have any idea what causes svn+ssh to work
sometimes and not work others. I had installed subversion 1.3.1
binaries from Metissian on a Mac OS X machine at work. I was not able
to connect through ssh with the notorious "svnserve: command no found
error" which I read about in the FAQ. However, I installed the same
binaries on another Mac OS X and had no problems at all connecting
over svn+ssh with no configuration needed.

Stranger still, I removed all references to /usr/local/bin/ from my
path on this second machine in the /etc/profile and /etc/bashrc and
my account .bash_profile. I verified that this was true because when
logged into the computer via ssh, I had to qualify all the svn
commands with their full path. However, even then, when the svn
commands were nowhere to be found in the path, I could still connect
to this machine with svn+ssh with no message about svnserve not
found. Frankly, at this point, I don't know how the command could
have been found at all.

NOTE: i'm not using the public key method to connect over ssh so
there's no chance it was determining the path from the "command"
specified in the public key.

Any clues folks?
