I had this problem upgrading a 1.3.0 build of Solaris subversion to
1.4.0 (on a test server, thank goodness.) Turns out the that the 1.3.0
package I installed actually runs 'svnserve.exe'. 'svnserve' was a
wrapper that called 'svnserve.exe'. (Some kind of Unix/Windows working
together in harmonry thing.)

So check your process list for 'svnserve.exe'. If you see it, then you
didn't shut down the repository, and the 1.3.0 svnserve.exe is handling
your requests and failing on the 1.4.0 repository. Do a 'kill' not a
'kill -9'. Delete the superflous svn*.exe files in /usr/local/bin (the
timestamps should be old on the exe files.) Start the real svnserve.

One of my more amusing subversion experiences... =)
