Wait..  Are you running the svn server as a daemon, or are you just 
using subversion over ssh?  I don't believe the two are mutually 
inclusive.  Although I have not done it that way, you are supposed to be 
able to use ssh as your transport inside ssh and not have the daemon 
running (hence no open port 3690).  The regular svnserve daemon uses 
that port though for regular tcp.
