OK, I'm seeing the first problem here. While you've got a repository at
/mnt/srv/svn/toll, you've told Apache that that directory contains other
repositories with the line:
SVNParentPath /mnt/srv/svn/toll
You must either remove the last path component, or change that directive to:
SVNPath /mnt/srv/svn/toll

... erm, I think you've confused the repository with the working copy
here. You shouldn't see "your" files directly in the repository
directory like this; you should see something like this:
$ ls -l repo/
total 28
drwsr-sr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 2006-02-17 18:05 conf/
drwsr-sr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 2006-03-06 14:04 dav/
drwsr-sr-x 5 www-data www-data 4096 2007-05-23 17:16 db/
-r--r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 2 2006-02-17 18:05 format
drwsr-sr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 2006-02-17 18:05 hooks/
drwsr-sr-x 2 www-data www-data 4096 2006-02-17 18:05 locks/
-rw-r--r-- 1 www-data www-data 379 2006-02-17 18:05 README.txt
(I've got sticky bits set Just In Case; I've had permissions oddities
scramble things for me in the past too.)
If you look further into the tree, you'll see the files that contain the
data that's been stored in the repository. Exactly what you see
depends on whether you're using FSFS or BDB as the backend.
You shouldn't care about the details unless something breaks. The only
directories you're likely to change anything in are conf and hooks.
Worry about those after you get basic access straightened out. <g>

I'm not sure what command you think you're running, but that doesn't
seem to work on any system I tried.
Try "... svn cat file:///mnt/srv/svn/toll/file.c".

Well, this will fail because it's mismatched to your Apache
configuration; you've told Apache to find your repository at
http://<host>/toll, not http://<host>/svn/toll.
Running this as wwwrun shouldn't matter one way or the other;
you-the-local-user are not directly accessing the repository files on
the hard drive; Apache-executing-as-wwwrun is. (Which is really the
whole point of running Apache - or svnserve.)

... which would be because of the Apache configuration error I noted
first. Again, because of the HTTP access method, the local user you're
trying as (root) doesn't affect the outcome.
