Malformed Network Data Error accessing svnserve on OS X Server 10.8

I'm attempting to get svnserve running on OS X Server 10.8.

I have successfully installed the client and server (using Fink). 

When starting svnserve from the command line ("svnserve -d -r /Groups/svn"), the client lists the repository contents successfully.

When I start svnserve via launchd as specified in the Red Book, the client reports: Malformed network data.

I believe I have the correct launchd .plist.

I have tried this with SVN version 1.7.5 and 1.6.18. Both can connect OK from command line, but report Malformed Network Data for launchd invocation.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Larry Goldman

If you telnet or netcat to the host on port 3690, what do you get?

The expected answer is, "The same output I get when I run 'svnserve -i'
on the server".
