(Sorry, reply to all it is!)
Hmm... if this is the problem, then I don't understand is why it all works
fine when i start svnserve in daemon-mode (i.e. not as a service)!
And I'm trying to start the service manually, thus I am logged in and the
drive is mapped (= no dependency issue). How come the svnserve service has
no knowledge of my network drive when svnserve daemon does?
