There should not be a colon after the server name/address. The
correct URL would be:

svn://192.168.20.14/data/svnrepos

Wait, what? "'update' to the repository"? "update" is an action that
retrieves data *from* the repository *to* the local working copy. It
does not modify the repository. It will report to you the revision of
the repository which your working copy now represents, apparently
revision 653.

How is svnserve started? Do you pass it a -r parameter? If so, is it
correct -- is it where your repository really is on disk?
