Do you use Mathematica 0.1 alpha?

Even this one solves these equations:


$Version
"4.0 for Microsoft Windows (July 16, 1999)"


DSolve[{Derivative[1][y][x] ==
     r*y[x], y[0] == a}, y, x]

{{y -> (a*E^(r*#1) & )}}


DSolve[{Derivative[1][x][t] ==
     r*x[t]*(1 - x[t]/xm),
    x[0] == x0}, x, t]

{{x -> ((E^(r*#1)*x0*xm)/(-x0 + E^(r*#1)*x0 +
       xm) & )}}

and so does 5.1 for Windows:

{{y -> Function[{x}, a*E^(r*x)]}}

{{x -> Function[{t}, (E^(r*t)*x0*xm)/
       (-x0 + E^(r*t)*x0 + xm)]}}
