More info is needed. What version of Subversion on the client and
server? What OS on the client and server? How are you starting
svnserve on the new server? Is that the same way you were starting
svnserve on the old server, specifically the -r argument? I suspect
it isn't. What is the path where it says no repository is found? Is
the repository actually in that location on disk? I'm guessing it's
somewhere else.
