Using SVNParentPath means that /usr/local/svnroot should be a
directory containing multiple repositories, however...

...we see that your /usr/local/svnroot is itself a repository. So,
decide: Do you want to have multiple repositories, or a single one?
If multiple, remove the contents of /usr/local/svnroot and create
multiple repositories inside it:

cd /usr/local/svnroot
rm -rf *
svnadmin create repo1
svnadmin create repo2

etc. On the other hand, if you want a single repository, change
SVNParentPath in your apache conf to SVNPath.

How did you decide that you should use SVNParentPath for a single
repository? Many people write to this list having made this same
mistake, and if there's some tutorial out there that's suggesting
this, or something unclear in the book, I'd like to know where it is
so we can get it corrected so others don't have the same problem.
