Error 1053 when starting svnserve as a service on WinXP

I noticed a thread with the same title started last September.

I could not tell from the thread if Grant Rettke ever was able to start his
svnserve as a WinXP service without the 1053 error.

I am getting the same error as Grant after I do this:

sc create svnserve binpath= "C:\Subversion\svn-win32-1.4.3\bin\svnserve.exe
--service --root S:\Repository" displayname= "Subversion" depend= tcpip
start= auto

Then I attempt to start the service and I get the 1053 error.

I have found that when I leave off the --root option, the service will start
successfully. However, I read where you must use the root option if your
svnserve install and repository are on two different drives. My S:\ drive
is physically located on a SimpleShare NAS drive. I also tried using a UNC
path with the root option and got the same error.

I can run svnserve as a daemon and everything works fine, including the root
option. Therefore it seems to be a --service option problem.

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug with the --service option
combined with the --root option?

Thanks,
Carroll
