No I don't. svn+ssh works fine for this.

But I forgot the little part at the start of this page:
 http://svnbook.red-bean.com/nightly/en/svn.serverconfig.pathbasedauthz.html

  "If you're using svnserve, you need to make the authz-db variable
   (within svnserve.conf) point to your access rules file."

So I uncommented this line in the sample svnserve.conf:
# authz-db = authz

And then svnsync pulled the entire repo. Or at least: it didn't stop at
revision 683.

But the resulting repo doesn't seem to be functional:
 sb_at_edwards:~$ svn ls file:///tmp/newrepo/svn/
 sb_at_edwards:~$ svn ls file:///tmp/newrepo/svn/trunk
 svn: URL 'file:///tmp/newrepo/svn/trunk' non-existent in that revision
