Sorry for the late reply, still trying to get used to the new "forums".
Actually, you were already close. You created the SVN repo correctly but the correct command to checkout a repo from the ReadyNAS would be
svn checkout https://192.168.1.100/svn/SVNTest
Two things to note here: For accessing the Repo you have to either use the HTTP or the HTTPS protocol, not SVN. And for the path to the repo you habe to prefix the repo's name with "/svn/".
When pushing changes to the ReadyNAS you'll have to authenticate using a valid username/password combination as defined on the ReadyNAS.

Thanks for the response. So seems the rnxtras subversion addon already added SUBVERSION.conf so the module was already loaded.
After that, the command:
# /etc/init.d/frontview restart
Does not exist, it didn't matter anyway since svn was already loaded, but I ran maybe the equivalent?
apache2 -f /etc/frontview/apache/httpd.conf -k restart
But I'm still having no luck:
svn checkout http://192.168.1.100/SVNTest svn: E120108: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://192.168.1.100/SVNTest' svn: E120108: Error running context: The server unexpectedly closed the connection.
svn checkout http://192.168.1.100/opt/subversion SVNTest svn: E120108: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://192.168.1.100/opt/subversion' svn: E120108: Error running context: The server unexpectedly closed the connection.
svn checkout svn://192.168.1.100/opt/subversion SVNTest svn: E000111: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'svn://192.168.1.100/opt/subversion' svn: E000111: Can't connect to host '192.168.1.100': Connection refused
Are there logs anywhere that might give clues?

Thanks for the response, but still no joy :(
This is the error:
svn: E170013: Unable to connect to a repository at URL 'http://192.168.1.100/svn/SVNTest' svn: E120108: Error running context: The server unexpectedly closed the connection.
Are there decent logs anywhere showing why?

You could try /var/log/frontview/error.log and /var/log/syslog
That said, for testing I followed your steps and it worked for me one the first try. Any chance that you made some other modifications while trying to get it to work?
