Hi,
this was indeed the problem!
The rest of cygwin runs so great under Windows that it never occurred to me
that this could be the problem.
Thank you very much,
Holger Naundorf

Subject: RE: Problems running svnserve as Windows service
I am trying to run svnserve as a windows service.
At different places (like http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#svnserve-
win-service) I found a very good description of what I have to do.
Unfortunately, when I follow the description, I have no problems
registering the Windows service (both on Vista and XP) but on both
systems, I cannot start the service.
The command I use for registering is:
sc create svn binpath= "D:\cygwin\bin\svnserve.exe --service -r
D:\SubVersionReps\Default" displayname= "Subversion Server" depend= Tcpip
start= auto
Why are you trying to run the Cygwin version of svnserve? I'm pretty sure
you can only run that if you are in the Cygwin runtime environment. You
need to use the native windows binaries.
