I think I've heard that the file that's read when you log in
interactively via ssh (.profile) may not be the same file that gets
read when you log in non-interactively via ssh for example when it's
trying to start up svnserve. Unfortunately I don't recall the name of
the file that it might use instead.
Possible solution:
