Yes, that was a typo. Using 'svn://192.168.20.14/data/svnrepos' produces the
same error.

When I attempt to update my entire local directory with the newest changes
in the Subversion Repository, I get an error.
'svn: Target path does not exist'

When I choose a particular file that is modified locally, and want to
combine my newest changes with the latest version in the
repository, the transaction goes through with no errors.
'Update to HEAD: text.php at revision 653'

Using, #svnserve -d -r /data/svnrepos, to start the server.

Just to add a few more details. The repository was created using Subversion
1.1.* and we wanted to upgrade to Subversion 1.4.3. First, we copied the
'repos' to another location (actually, we made several copies). Second, we
did a dump of the 'repos' (svnadmin dump /data/repos > dumpfile.txt). After
upgrading to 1.4.3 and creating a new repository, we imported from the dump
file (svnadmin load /path/to/repository < dumpfile.txt) After starting the
server, folks reported the above errors. We even started the daemon by
pointing it to a copy of the original repository, but with identical
results.

I can browse the tree with 'svnlook';

# svnlook tree /data/svnrepos |grep web
 web/
   web_test/
    website_shut_down.php
<snip>

Since there aren't any logs to look at, I am having a hell of time trying to
figure out why the remote svn clients won't connect. All help is much
appreciated.

Thanks again,

~James
