Did you copy the above? Because "tcsh" would be more sensible than  
"tchs".
This leads me to believe that for some reason svnX is using tcsh as  
the default shell, which you may or may not have set the proper paths  
for in your .tcshrc or .cshrc files, since bash has been the default  
shell for a while now.
