Yes we do have a misunderstanding.

Ahh, I see.  You are trying to use svnserve.  I don't think we 
understood that.

To troubleshoot svnserve, we need to know the parameters you used to 
start it.

Assuming you did nothing other than running "svnserve -d"...
You need to specify the entire path to the repository.
svn://dishmal@69.60.117.0/home/dishmal/.svn

Also it is very important that the user running svnserve not be root, 
but be a user that has read and write access to the files in that folder.

Additionally you need to ensure you have 
/path/to/repos/conf/svnserve.conf configured correctly, and the user(s) 
added appropriately.

See http://svnbook.red-bean.com/en/1.0/ch06s03.html for more details on 
this type of subversion access.
