it doesnt, but the user could have placed the svn repository anywhere.

i have no experience accessing svn through apache, but as alex suggests,
check the permissions on the repository for the apache process owner,
that svn ls file:///home/rancid/CVS works, that apache isn't chroot'ed
or similarly have a modified path, etc.  you might check the svn "redbook"
for configuration hints.
