That's the wrong file. You need to put these in ~/.ssh/authorized_keys
on the server.

The following works well on my system:

command="/usr/bin/svnserve -t --tunnel-user=jens",no-port-forwarding,no-agent-forwarding,no-X11-forwarding,no-pty ssh-rsa AAAA...

You should use svn+ssh://jens@xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/ not svn://. Also don't forget to
specify the user account (e.g. jens) the server uses.

But your problem looks more like a network problem. Can you ping the host?

Try to connect via ssh to the host using the special svn account, you should get
( success ( 1 2 ( ANONYMOUS EXTERNAL ) ( edit-pipeline ) ) ) Connection to host closed.
because /usr/bin/svnserve is the only valid command this user can run.

I hope this solves you problem. I had no problems to set it up following the steps
in the svn book.
