That's the step that's failing. On further checking, I find that I have to set 
the client's destination port in ~/.subversion/servers, presumably for both 
me and root. Apparently svn doesn't use the transport protocol reserved for 
it in /etc/services, nor does the Gentoo version create an /etc/subversion 
directory for global settings.

Intuitive? I think not.

Thanks for the help.
